About V97

V97 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for other specified air transport accidents. 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: V97.0 (accidents), V97.1 (aircraft), V97.2 (accident), V97.3 (accident) and V97.8 (classified).

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