V99.XXXD — Unspecified transport accident, subsequent encounter
Is V99.XXXD billable?
Yes, but V99.XXXD is an unspecified code. V99.XXXD is a valid, billable ICD-10-CM code for encounters from October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027. However, V99.XXXD 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 V99.XXXD — the more specific alternatives are listed below.
