V96.19Other hang-glider accident injuring occupant

V96.19 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for other hang-glider accident 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 V96.1, choose V96.19 (Other hang-glider accident injuring occupant) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: unspecified hang-glider accident injuring occupant (V96.10), hang-glider crash injuring occupant (V96.11), forced landing of hang-glider injuring occupant (V96.12), hang-glider collision injuring occupant (V96.13), hang-glider fire injuring occupant (V96.14) and hang-glider explosion injuring occupant (V96.15).

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.
