About V98.3XXA
V98.3XXA is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for accident to, on or involving ski lift, initial encounter. 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 billable, so it can be reported on its own for dates of service from October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027.
The 7th character "A" means initial encounter: use it while the patient is receiving active treatment for the condition.
It is not a CC or MCC, so as a secondary diagnosis it doesn't change the MS-DRG severity level.
It is exempt from present-on-admission (POA) reporting, so no POA indicator is required.
It has been part of ICD-10-CM since the code set took effect on October 1, 2015 and hasn't changed since.
Before ICD-10, this condition was coded in ICD-9-CM as E847 (accidents involving cable cars not running on rails).
