Verify Before Coding
- 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.
From the code registry, the Medicare Code Editor, and the MS-DRG Definitions Manual. Check it against a full claim.
