Motorcycle rider injured in noncollision transport accident (V28) ICD-10-CM

About the V28 Code Range

The ICD-10 code V28 series is used to classify injuries sustained by motorcycle riders involved in noncollision transport accidents, meaning accidents that do not involve a collision with another vehicle or object. These codes differentiate between drivers and passengers, traffic versus nontraffic accidents, and specify electric (assisted) bicycles versus other motorcycles.

This group covers a variety of scenarios, including motorcycle drivers and passengers who are injured while boarding, alighting, or riding the motorcycle during incidents like falling, mechanical failures, or loss of control without direct collisions. For example, codes like V28.01 address electric bicycle drivers injured in nontraffic accidents, while V28.59 refers to passengers on other motorcycles hurt in traffic-related noncollision events. Some codes include detailed encounter types such as initial (XA), subsequent (XD), and sequela (XS) encounters. The section also accounts for complex events like motor vehicle failures, driver inattention, or falls from a moving vehicle, providing precise coding for medical and billing professionals handling injuries from these unique noncollision motorcycle incidents.
