SUPPLEMENTARY CLASSIFICATION OF FACTORS INFLUENCING HEALTH STATUS AND CONTACT WITH HEALTH SERVICES (V01-V89)
This classification is provided to deal with occasions when circumstances other than a disease or injury classifiable to categories 001-999 (the main part of ICD) are recorded as "diagnoses" or "problems." This can arise mainly in three ways:
a) When a person who is not currently sick encounters the health services for some specific purpose, such as to act as a donor of an organ or tissue, to receive prophylactic vaccination, or to discuss a problem which is in itself not a disease or injury. This will be a fairly rare occurrence among hospital inpatients, but will be relatively more common among hospital outpatients and patients of family practitioners, health clinics, etc.
b) When a person with a known disease or injury, whether it is current or resolving, encounters the health care system for a specific treatment of that disease or injury (e.g., dialysis for renal disease; chemotherapy for malignancy; cast change).
c) When some circumstance or problem is present which influences the person's health status but is not in itself a current illness or injury. Such factors may be elicited during population surveys, when the person may or may not be currently sick, or be recorded as an additional factor to be borne in mind when the person is receiving care for some current illness or injury classifiable to categories 001-999.
In the latter circumstances the V code should be used only as a supplementary code and should not be the one selected for use in primary, single cause tabulations. Examples of these circumstances are a personal history of certain diseases, or a person with an artificial heart valve in situ.
PERSONS WITH POTENTIAL HEALTHHAZARDS RELATED TO COMMUNICABLE DISEASES (V01-V06)
Excludes:
family history of infectious and parasitic diseases (V18.8)
personal history of infectious and parasitic diseases (V12.0)
PERSONS WITH POTENTIAL HEALTH HAZARDS RELATED TO PERSONAL AND FAMILY HISTORY (V10-V19)
Excludes:
obstetric patients where the possibility that the fetus might be affected is the reason for observation or management during pregnancy (655.0-655.9)
LIVEBORN INFANTS ACCORDING TO TYPE OF BIRTH (V30-V39)
Note: These categories are intended for the coding of liveborn infants who are consuming health care [e.g., crib or bassinet occupancy].
The following fourth-digit subdivisions are for use with categories V30-V39:
0 Born in hospital
1 Born before admission to hospital
2 Born outside hospital and not hospitalized
The following two fifths-digits are for use with the fourth-digit .0, Born in hospital:
0 delivered without mention of cesarean delivery
1 delivered by cesarean delivery
PERSONS WITH A CONDITION INFLUENCING THEIR HEALTH STATUS (V40-V49)
Note: These categories are intended for use when these conditions are recorded as "diagnoses" or "problems."
PERSONS ENCOUNTERING HEALTH SERVICES FOR SPECIFIC PROCEDURES AND AFTERCARE (V50-V59)
Note: Categories V51-V58 are intended for use to indicate a reason for care in patients who may have already been treated for some disease or injury not now present, or who are receiving care to consolidate the treatment, to deal with residual states, or to prevent recurrence.
Excludes:
follow-up examination for medical surveillance following treatment (V67.0-V67.9)
PERSONS WITHOUT REPORTED DIAGNOSIS ENCOUNTERED DURING EXAMINATION AND INVESTIGATION OF INDIVIDUALS AND POPULATIONS (V70-V82)
Note: Nonspecific abnormal findings disclosed at the time of these examinations are classifiable to categories 790-796.
