About V96

V96 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for accident to nonpowered aircraft causing injury to occupant. It belongs to 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 5 subcodes must be used instead.

To report this condition, pick the subcode that matches the documentation: V96.0 (occupant), V96.1 (occupant), V96.2 (occupant), V96.8 (occupant) and V96.9 (occupant).

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