Bus occupant injured in collision with car, pick-up truck or van (V73)
The ICD-10 code V73 series is used to identify injuries sustained by bus occupants involved in collisions with cars, pick-up trucks, or vans. These codes help specify the role of the injured person; whether bus driver, passenger, person outside the bus, or someone boarding or alighting; and distinguish between traffic and nontraffic accidents.
This section includes codes like V73.0 for bus drivers, V73.1 for passengers, and V73.4 for those boarding or leaving the bus, each further detailed by encounter type: initial, subsequent, or sequela (aftereffects). For example, the ICD-10 code for a passenger on a bus injured in a nontraffic accident involving a collision with a car or truck is detailed under V73.1XXA for an initial encounter. These distinctions aid medical coders in accurately reporting whether the incident occurred during active traffic or outside regular traffic conditions and clarify the patient's role during the accident.
Medical professionals and coders use these codes to document and track injuries related to bus collisions, improving data accuracy for treatment, analysis, and prevention efforts. The V73 codes uniquely cover circumstances involving bus occupants hurt specifically in collisions with smaller motor vehicles like cars, pick-up trucks, or vans, distinguishing these from other vehicle collision codes.

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 V73
7th Character
