Is V02.938S billable?
Yes, but V02.938S is an unspecified code. V02.938S is a valid, billable ICD-10-CM code for encounters from October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027. However, V02.938S is an unspecified or catch-all code. Payers apply additional scrutiny to unspecified codes and many deny them when the medical record supports a more specific option, so check the documentation before selecting V02.938S — the more specific alternatives are listed below.

Excludes1 — never code together — inherited from V00-V09
The conditions below can never be reported together with V02.938S on the same claim. An Excludes1 note means the two conditions cannot occur in the same patient, so reporting both is a coding error.
How long has V02.938S existed?
V02.938S first appears in FY2021 (FY2020 is not available, so it may have appeared then).
Derived from the official order files for FY2016–FY2026. FY2017 and FY2020 publish no order file, so those years are not covered.
