Motorcycle rider injured in collision with railway train or railway vehicle (V25) ICD-10-CM

About the V25 Code Range

The ICD-10 code section V25 covers injuries specifically sustained by motorcycle riders when involved in collisions with railway trains or railway vehicles. This includes various subcategories to capture details about the type of motorcycle, the rider's role, and whether the accident occurred in traffic or nontraffic situations.

This section is used for coding injuries to motorcycle drivers, passengers, and persons boarding or alighting motorcycles, including electric (assisted) bicycles and other types. It distinguishes between nontraffic accidents (e.g., off-road or other situations) and traffic accidents, and further specifies initial encounters, subsequent encounters, and sequelae (long-term complications). Although there are no listed synonyms, the description clarifies that any injury to a motorcycle or electric bicycle involved in a crash with a railway train or vehicle falls under these codes. For example, the ICD-10 code for motorcycle rider injured in collision with railway train is categorized under V25 with appropriate extensions to specify details such as being a driver or passenger, traffic conditions, and encounter timing, supporting precise medical coding and reporting of these accident scenarios.
