Motorcycle rider injured in collision with fixed or stationary object (V27) ICD-10-CM

About the V27 Code Range

This group of ICD-10 codes, starting with V27, is used to classify injuries sustained by motorcycle riders or passengers involved in collisions with fixed or stationary objects. It differentiates between traffic and nontraffic accidents and specifies roles like driver, passenger, or person boarding or alighting the motorcycle.

The ICD-10 code for motorcycle rider injured in collision with fixed or stationary object covers various scenarios including electric (assisted) bicycles and other motorcycles. For example, V27.01 codes denote injuries to electric bicycle drivers in nontraffic accidents, while V27.49 describes injuries to other motorcycle drivers in traffic accidents. The codes further specify if the encounter is an initial treatment, subsequent care, or related to sequelae (complications). Usage extends to passengers and unspecified riders, with distinctions made for whether the collision occurred during traffic or a nontraffic event. This structured coding allows precise documentation of the injury cause, aiding clear communication in clinical and billing contexts.
