V codes

Is it proper to use a V code as primary dx, for example, V653, 2780x(secondary)?

re: V codes

Those V codes that can be a primary diagnosis should be indicated as such in your ICD9-CM manual. Different publishers mark them differently, depending on whether the book is color-coded, etc. Check the front of the manual you'll be using and they should indicate how they distinguish those that can be primary. I got this answer from www.aapc.com. Hope this helps.
