Bus occupant injured in collision with pedal cycle (V71)

The ICD-10 code V71 series is used to classify injuries sustained by bus occupants involved in collisions with pedal cycles, such as bicycles. These codes cover different roles like drivers, passengers, persons on the outside of the bus, and people boarding or alighting, specifying whether the incident occurred during a traffic or nontraffic accident.

This section includes detailed subcodes to document the specific context of the injury, including whether it is an initial encounter, a subsequent encounter, or a sequela (long-term complication) of the injury. For example, V71.0XXA describes a bus driver injured in a nontraffic collision with a pedal cycle during the initial encounter, while V71.5XXA applies when this happens in a traffic accident. These distinctions help medical coders accurately capture the setting and role of the injured party. Using the appropriate code from the V71 category ensures clear reporting of incidents involving bus occupants hurt by pedal cycles, helping providers and insurers track these specific injury scenarios precisely.

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 V71

7th Character

Indicates that a seventh character is to be assigned to codes in a subcategory.

  • A - initial encounter
  • D - subsequent encounter
  • S - sequela
