V95 covers injuries sustained by occupants of powered aircraft during accidents, including trauma from crashes, turbulence-related injuries, and other incidents that occur while the aircraft is in operation.
V95 codes should be used when documenting injuries directly resulting from accidents involving powered aircraft. It is important to ensure that the circumstances of the accident are clearly documented to support the use of this code.
Documentation should include a detailed account of the accident, the nature and extent of injuries sustained, treatment provided, and any relevant patient history that may impact the clinical outcome.
