2025 ICD-10-CM code V97.29XS

Other parachutist accident, sequela.

This code should be used as a secondary code to a code describing the nature of the sequelae (e.g., chronic pain, PTSD). It should not be used to describe the initial injuries sustained during the accident. Furthermore, this code is specific to late effects and should not be used for subsequent encounters for treatment of the initial injury.

Medical necessity must be established by demonstrating that the current condition is a direct result of the parachuting accident. Any treatments or interventions should be justified as necessary to address the sequelae of the accident.

In simple words: This code refers to the long-term effects or complications that result from a parachuting accident, excluding other specific types of parachuting accidents.

Other parachutist accident, sequela. This code describes the late effects of a parachutist accident not otherwise specified.

Example 1: A patient experiences chronic knee pain and limited mobility years after sustaining a fracture in a parachuting accident where the parachute malfunctioned. This long-term effect is coded as V97.29XS., A patient develops post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) following a near-fatal parachuting accident due to tangled rigging lines, and this continues to affect their daily life months after the accident. V97.29XS is used to code the sequela., A patient has persistent back pain resulting from a hard landing during a parachuting accident caused by unfavorable wind conditions. The ongoing back pain is a sequela of the accident and is coded with V97.29XS.

Documentation should support a history of a parachuting accident and clearly link the current condition as a direct result of that accident. Detailed descriptions of the accident, initial injuries, and subsequent treatments should be included.
