The V codes are almost always listed as secondary diagnosis, but it really depends on what service you are billing.
 
Hi

There is a great Table of V Codes and which ones you can place first, second and third, in the beginning of the ICD-9 book, under coding guidelines. This should help you alot. Thanks :):)
