V96.02Forced landing of balloon injuring occupant

V96.02 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for forced landing of balloon injuring occupant. It belongs to category V96 (accident to nonpowered 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 V96.0 (balloon accident injuring occupant), V96.02 is specifically for forced landing of balloon injuring occupant. Related codes cover unspecified balloon accident injuring occupant (V96.00), balloon crash injuring occupant (V96.01), balloon collision injuring occupant (V96.03), balloon fire injuring occupant (V96.04), balloon explosion injuring occupant (V96.05) and other balloon accident injuring occupant (V96.09).

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.
