About V98.3

V98.3 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for accident to, on or involving ski lift. 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), V98.3 is specifically for accident to, on or involving ski lift. Related codes cover accident to, on or involving cable-car, not on rails (V98.0), accident to, on or involving land-yacht (V98.1), accident to, on or involving ice yacht (V98.2) 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.
