Is V94.0 billable?

How is V94.0 listed in the External Cause Index?
These are the routes through the External Cause of Injuries Index that lead to V94.0 — how the injury happened, rather than what the injury was.
- Fall, falling › from, off, out of › boat, ship, watercraft NEC › with hitting bottom or object (accidental)
- Fall, falling › from, off, out of › watercraft › with hitting bottom or object (accidental)
Excludes2 — not included here
The conditions below are not part of V94.0, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, V94.0 and the excluded code may both be reported.
- drowning and submersion due to fall from watercraft (V92.0-)
Excludes1 — never code together — inherited from V94
The conditions below can never be reported together with V94.0 on the same claim. An Excludes1 note means the two conditions cannot occur in the same patient, so reporting both is a coding error.
