About V98.0

V98.0 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for accident to, on or involving cable-car, not on rails. It belongs to category V98 (other specified transport accidents), block V98-V99 (other and unspecified 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 V98 (other specified transport accidents), V98.0 is specifically for accident to, on or involving cable-car, not on rails. Related codes cover accident to, on or involving land-yacht (V98.1), accident to, on or involving ice yacht (V98.2), accident to, on or involving ski lift (V98.3) and other specified transport accidents (V98.8).

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.

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