Car occupant injured in collision with fixed or stationary object (V47)
The ICD-10 code section V47 covers injuries sustained by car occupants involved in collisions with fixed or stationary objects. These codes specify the role of the injured person; driver, passenger, person on the outside of the car, or someone boarding or exiting the vehicle; and whether the incident was a traffic or nontraffic accident.
This set of codes is used to accurately document and classify injuries from crashes where cars collide with immovable objects like poles or barriers. The section includes detailed distinctions such as V47.0 for car drivers injured in nontraffic accidents and V47.5 for drivers injured in traffic accidents. It also differentiates by encounter type: initial treatment (XXA), subsequent encounters (XXD), and sequelae or late effects (XXS). For example, if a car passenger suffers injury in a nontraffic accident involving a stationary object, the correct ICD-10 code might be V47.1XXA for the initial encounter. While the section lacks common synonyms, knowing these specific codes helps medical coders and providers assign the precise ICD-10 code for car occupant injuries from collisions with fixed or stationary objects.

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 V47
7th Character
Indicates that a seventh character is to be assigned to codes in a subcategory.
- A - initial encounter
- D - subsequent encounter
- S - sequela
