Bus occupant injured in collision with two- or three-wheeled motor vehicle (V72)
The ICD-10 code V72 covers injuries sustained by bus occupants involved in collisions with two- or three-wheeled motor vehicles. These codes specify the occupant's role, such as driver, passenger, or person on the outside of the bus, and indicate whether the incident was a traffic or nontraffic accident.
The detailed ICD-10 codes under V72 help medical coders identify the exact circumstances surrounding these injuries, including whether the injured individual was the bus driver (V72.0, V72.5) or a passenger (V72.1, V72.6), or someone boarding or alighting from the bus (V72.4). Each code also distinguishes between initial encounters, subsequent encounters, and sequela, which are important for ongoing treatment documentation. For example, V72.0XXA specifies the bus driver’s initial treatment after a nontraffic collision with a two- or three-wheeled vehicle. The specificity of these codes ensures clear documentation of injuries caused by collisions involving buses and smaller motor vehicles, which is essential for accurate medical records and injury cause analysis.

Instructional Notations
7th Character Note
Certain ICD-10-CM categories have applicable 7th characters. The applicable 7th character is required for all codes within the category, or as the notes in the Tabular List instruct. The 7th character must always be the 7th character in the data field. If a code that requires a 7th character is not 6 characters, a placeholder X must be used to fill in the empty characters.
- The appropriate 7th character is to be added to each code from category V72
7th Character
Indicates that a seventh character is to be assigned to codes in a subcategory.
- A - initial encounter
- D - subsequent encounter
- S - sequela
