About V80.720A
V80.720A is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for Animal-rider injured in collision with animal-drawn vehicle, initial encounter. It belongs to category V80 (Animal-rider or occupant of animal-drawn vehicle injured in transport accident), block V80-V89 (other land transport accidents) 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.
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 E827.2 (animal-drawn vehicle accident injuring rider of animal).
