Intentional self-harm by crashing of motor vehicle (X82) ICD-10-CM
The X82 code range covers intentional self-harm by crashing of motor vehicle with 17 ICD-10-CM diagnosis codes. 12 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 X82

About the X82 Code Range
The ICD-10 code X82 and its subcodes are specifically used to document intentional self-harm by crashing a motor vehicle. These codes capture various scenarios of self-inflicted crashes, including collisions with other vehicles, trains, trees, or other objects.
These codes help identify cases where a person deliberately crashes a motor vehicle as a form of self-harm or suicide attempt. Variations like X82.0, X82.1, and X82.2 specify the object collided with—such as another motor vehicle, a train, or a tree. The seventh character extensions (for example, X82.0XXA) indicate the care episode: initial encounter, subsequent encounter, or sequela (aftereffects). The subcode X82.8XXA and related codes cover other unspecified types of intentional motor vehicle crashes and are linked with the synonym “suicide attempt by crashing motor vehicle.” These ICD-10 codes enable precise classification and tracking of intentional vehicle crash self-harm incidents in medical records and reporting.
