V00.221A is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for fall from sled, initial encounter. It belongs to category V00 (pedestrian conveyance accident), block V00-V09 (pedestrian injured in transport accident) and chapter 20 (external causes of morbidity). It is billable, so it can be reported on its own for dates of service from October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027.
The 7th character "A" means initial encounter: use it while the patient is receiving active treatment for the condition.
Use an additional code for: place of occurrence and activity external cause codes, if known (Y92.-, Y93.-).
It is not a CC or MCC, so as a secondary diagnosis it doesn't change the MS-DRG severity level.
It is exempt from present-on-admission (POA) reporting, so no POA indicator is required.
It has been part of ICD-10-CM since the code set took effect on October 1, 2015 and hasn't changed since.
Before ICD-10, this condition was coded in ICD-9-CM as E885.9 (fall from other slipping, tripping, or stumbling).
