About V97.0

V97.0 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for occupant of aircraft injured in other specified air transport accidents. It belongs to category V97 (other specified air transport accidents), 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 V97, choose V97.0 (Occupant of aircraft injured in other specified air transport accidents) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: person injured while boarding or alighting from aircraft (V97.1), parachutist accident (V97.2), person on ground injured in air transport accident (V97.3) and other air transport accidents, not elsewhere classified (V97.8).

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.

Don't report V97.0 together with the conditions in its Excludes1 note: accident while boarding or alighting aircraft (V97.1).

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