Motorcycle rider injured in collision with heavy transport vehicle or bus (V24)

The ICD-10 code V24 covers injuries sustained by motorcycle riders or passengers when colliding with heavy transport vehicles or buses. These codes distinguish between various scenarios such as the role of the injured person (driver, passenger, or person boarding/alighting), type of motorcycle (including electric bicycles), and the accident context (traffic or nontraffic).

The codes under V24 specify the injured party's status and vehicle involvement to ensure precise classification for reporting and treatment details. For example, V24.0 refers to a motorcycle driver injured in a nontraffic accident with a heavy vehicle, while V24.4 corresponds to injuries in traffic accidents. Additionally, subtype codes like V24.01 indicate an electric (assisted) bicycle driver injury, reflecting the importance of differentiating traditional motorcycles from electric ones. Codes also incorporate encounter distinctions; initial (XA), subsequent (XD), and sequela (XS); to capture the injury phase. These detailed categories enable accurate coding for injuries involving motorcycle collisions with heavy trucks or buses across various circumstances, aiding healthcare professionals and coders in identifying the specific context and treatment stage.

Instructional Notations

Type 1 Excludes

A type 1 excludes note is a pure excludes note. It means "NOT CODED HERE!" An Excludes1 note indicates that the code excluded should never be used at the same time as the code above the Excludes1 note. An Excludes1 is used when two conditions cannot occur together, such as a congenital form versus an acquired form of the same condition.

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 V24

7th Character

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

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