V00
Non-Billable (Header)Pedestrian conveyance accident
Last updated: FY2026 ICD-10-CM (Oct 1, 2025 – Sep 30, 2026) | CMS-HCC V28 (100% phase-in, PY2026)
What This Code Means
V00 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for pedestrian conveyance accident. V00 sits in the ICD-10-CM chapter for external causes of morbidity (v00-y99), within the section covering pedestrian injured in transport accident (v00-v09).
Header codes like V00 cannot be reported on claims directly — they organize child codes that share clinical context but the actual diagnosis must be coded to the highest level of specificity supported by the documentation. Coders should look at V00's child codes and select the one that matches the patient's documented presentation, since payers reject header codes submitted as the primary diagnosis. For risk adjustment workflows, header codes never contribute to a Medicare Advantage member's RAF score on their own; only billable child codes that happen to map to a payment HCC affect risk-adjusted plan payments.
HCC Buddy maintains structured V28 and V24 mapping, RAF weights, and MEAT documentation criteria for V00 sourced directly from the CMS-HCC risk adjustment model files and the CMS ICD-10-CM code set.
