Bus occupant injured in collision with fixed or stationary object (V77) ICD-10-CM
The V77 code range covers bus occupant injured in collision with fixed or stationary object with 37 ICD-10-CM diagnosis codes. 27 of them are billable and valid for claim submission in fiscal year 2026, and the category headers group them but cannot themselves be billed.
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 V77
7th Character
Indicates that a seventh character is to be assigned to codes in a subcategory.
- A - initial encounter
- D - subsequent encounter
- S - sequela

About the V77 Code Range
The ICD-10 code V77 and its subcategories identify injuries specifically sustained by bus occupants in collisions with fixed or stationary objects. These codes distinguish whether the injured person was the driver, passenger, someone outside the bus, or an unspecified occupant involved in either traffic or nontraffic accidents.
These codes are used to accurately document the circumstances and roles of individuals injured in bus collisions with non-moving objects, ranging from the V77.0 driver in nontraffic accidents to V77.9 unspecified occupants in traffic accidents. Each subcode includes distinctions for initial encounters (indicated by seventh character "A"), subsequent encounters ("D"), and sequela or complications ("S"). This detailed classification helps medical coders precisely capture external causes related to bus accidents, such as injuries to a person boarding or alighting from the bus and those on the bus exterior.
Using the ICD-10 code for bus occupant injuries in collision with fixed or stationary objects ensures that healthcare providers and coders can specify the injured party's role and the accident context, which is essential for treatment planning, injury surveillance, and reporting outcomes of bus-related incidents.
