Verify Before Coding

  • Not billable as written — a more specific code is required: V03.938A, V03.938D, V03.938S.
  • Requires a 7th character. "The appropriate 7th character is to be added to each code from category V03" Options: V03.938A, V03.938D, V03.938S
  • Principal-diagnosis restriction. External cause of morbidity codes (V, W, X and Y) describe the circumstance that caused an injury, not the condition treated. The Medicare Code Editor rejects them as a principal diagnosis; sequence the injury or condition first and report this code as secondary.
