V95.8Other powered aircraft accidents injuring occupant

V95.8 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for other powered aircraft accidents injuring occupant. It belongs to category V95 (accident to powered aircraft causing injury to occupant), block V95-V97 (air and space transport accidents) and chapter 20 (external causes of morbidity). It is a header code, so it can't be reported by itself; one of its 3 subcodes must be used instead.

Within V95, choose V95.8 (Other powered aircraft accidents injuring occupant) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: helicopter accident injuring occupant (V95.0), ultralight, microlight or powered-glider accident injuring occupant (V95.1), other private fixed-wing aircraft accident injuring occupant (V95.2), commercial fixed-wing aircraft accident injuring occupant (V95.3), spacecraft accident injuring occupant (V95.4) and unspecified aircraft accident injuring occupant (V95.9).

Codes in this range require a 7th character: A for initial encounter, D for subsequent encounter and S for sequela. Use placeholder "X" characters to fill any empty positions before the 7th character.

It has been part of ICD-10-CM since the code set took effect on October 1, 2015 and hasn't changed since.
