Occupant of special all-terrain or other off-road motor vehicle, injured in transport accident (V86) ICD-10-CM

About the V86 Code Range

The ICD-10 code range V86 is used to classify injuries sustained by occupants of special all-terrain or off-road motor vehicles during various types of transport accidents. These codes differentiate between drivers, passengers, and persons on the outside of vehicles such as ambulances, fire engines, snowmobiles, dune buggies, military vehicles, ATVs, and dirt bikes. They also specify whether the accident was traffic-related or nontraffic, and capture the encounter type like initial, subsequent, or sequela (late effects).

This section provides detailed coding options for injuries to drivers or passengers involved in transport accidents with specific vehicles, including emergency vehicles and recreational off-road types. For example, V86.01 applies to drivers of ambulances or fire engines injured in traffic accidents, while V86.05 covers drivers of four-wheeled all-terrain vehicles (ATVs). The codes also account for injuries sustained while boarding or alighting these vehicles (e.g., V86.4). While synonyms are limited, related keywords such as "motor vehicle traffic accident involving collision," "accident during motor racing," or "fall while boarding off-road vehicle" appear under certain subcodes, supporting precise code assignment. This makes the ICD-10 code for occupant injuries in special off-road vehicles especially useful for accurately describing and reporting injury circumstances involving diverse off-road and emergency vehicles in both traffic and nontraffic accidents.
