V00-X58 — Accidents
ICD-10-CM codes V00-X58 cover accidents, within external causes of morbidity. The block holds 8,040 codes across 2 sub-blocks, of which 5,634 are billable and 2,406 are header codes that cannot be submitted on a claim. 8,040 of them (100%) require a 7th character.
The 7th character in V00-X58
A code in this block is not complete without its 7th character, and a missing one is a rejected claim rather than a denied one: the clearinghouse never passes it on. 8,040 of the 8,040 codes here take one.
- A
- initial encounter
- D
- subsequent encounter
- S
- sequela
