Is V94 a billable ICD-10-CM code?

No. V94 is a non-billable header code. Code to a higher level of specificity using one of its child codes.

Where does V94 sit in the tabular list?

External causes of morbidity (V00-Y99), in the block Water transport accidents (V90-V94).

What cannot be coded together with V94?

V94 carries an Excludes1 note, which means the conditions it lists can never be coded together with it on the same encounter.

V94 — Other and unspecified water transport accidents

Non-billable headerICD-10-CM

V94 is a non-billable header ICD-10-CM code for other and unspecified water transport accidents. It cannot be billed on its own: choose one of the more specific child codes below. This code also requires a 7th character before it is complete.

This code requires a 7th character

The appropriate 7th character is to be added to each code from category V94

A: initial encounter
D: subsequent encounter
S: sequela

Excludes1 — never code together

These conditions cannot occur together. Billing both on the same encounter is a denial.

military watercraft accidents in military or war operations (Y36, Y37)

Other codes that can never be billed with V94

These codes carry an Excludes1 note pointing at V94. The conflict binds both ways, but ICD-10-CM only writes it down on one side — so you would not find this by reading V94 alone.

V90Drowning and submersion due to accident to watercraft
V91Other injury due to accident to watercraft
V92Drowning and submersion due to accident on board watercraft, without accident to watercraft
V92.07Drowning and submersion due to fall off water-skis
V92.07XADrowning and submersion due to fall off water-skis, initial encounter
V92.07XDDrowning and submersion due to fall off water-skis, subsequent encounter
V92.07XSDrowning and submersion due to fall off water-skis, sequela
V92.08Drowning and submersion due to fall off other unpowered watercraft

Risk adjustment

V94 does not map to an HCC and does not risk-adjust under CMS-HCC V28. That is normal — most ICD-10 codes do not. It still needs to be coded correctly; it just will not move a RAF score.

7 child codes. Green means billable.
