V09.00XA — Pedestrian injured in nontraffic accident involving unspecified motor vehicles, initial encounter
Is V09.00XA billable?
Yes, but V09.00XA is an unspecified code. V09.00XA is a valid, billable ICD-10-CM code for encounters from October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027. However, V09.00XA 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 V09.00XA.
