V Codes Listing
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.
