INTRODUCTION: ICD-9-CM :Provides codes to deal with encounters for circumstances other than a disease or injury. The Supplementary classification of factors
influencing health status and contact with Health Services [V01-V86] is provided to deal with occasions when circumstances other than a disease or injury are recorded
as a diagnosis or problem.
There are 4 primary circumstances for the use of V codes:
1. A person who is not currently sick encounters the health services for some specific reason, such as to act as an organ donor. to receive prophylactic
care, such as inoculations or health screenings, or to receive counseling on health related issues.
2. A person with a resolving disease or injury, or a chronic, long-term condition requiring continuous care, encounters the health care system for specific
aftercare of that disease or injury [e.g dialysis for renal disease, chemotherapy for malignancy]. A diagnosis/ symptoms code should be used whenever a
current, acute diagnosis is being treated or a sign or symptom is being studied.
3. Circumstances or problems influence a person's health status but are not in themselves a current illness or injury.
4. Newborns, to indicate birth status.
History of: There are two types of history of V codes, personal and family. Personal history codes explain a patient's past medical condition that no longer
exists and is not receiving any treatment but that has the potential for recurrence, ad therefore may require continued monitoring.
Family history codes are for use when a patient has a family member's who has had a particular disease that cause the patient to be at higer risk of
contracting the disease.
The History V codes categories are:
V10 : personal history of malignant neoplasm.
V12 : personal history of certain other diseases.
V13 : personal history of other disease, except V13.4 personal history of aarthritis. and

are life-long so are not true history codes.

V15 : other personal history presenting hazards to health
except V15.7 personal history of contraception
