Occupant of three-wheeled motor vehicle injured in collision with other nonmotor vehicle (V36) ICD-10-CM

About the V36 Code Range

The ICD-10 code V36 is used to classify injuries sustained by occupants of three-wheeled motor vehicles when involved in collisions with nonmotor vehicles. This coding section covers various scenarios including drivers, passengers, and persons on or boarding the vehicle, differentiating between traffic and nontraffic accidents as well as the stage of care such as initial, subsequent, or sequela encounters.

This section specifically addresses injuries related to three-wheeled motor vehicles, distinguishing roles like driver (V36.0, V36.5), passenger (V36.1, V36.6), and person on outside (V36.2, V36.7), along with an unspecified occupant category (V36.3, V36.9). Each subclass includes codes for initial treatment, follow-ups, and complications after the initial injury, identified by 7th characters such as "A" for initial encounter and "D" for subsequent encounters. These codes enable precise documentation of injury circumstances and patient status after accidents involving collisions with nonmotor vehicles, making this the authoritative reference for medical coders looking for the ICD-10 code for three-wheeled motor vehicle injuries in such collisions.
