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

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.

Instructional Notations

Includes

This note appears immediately under a three character code title to further define, or give examples of, the content of the category.

  • collision with animal-drawn vehicle, animal being ridden, streetcar

7th Character Note

Certain ICD-10-CM categories have applicable 7th characters. The applicable 7th character is required for all codes within the category, or as the notes in the Tabular List instruct. The 7th character must always be the 7th character in the data field. If a code that requires a 7th character is not 6 characters, a placeholder X must be used to fill in the empty characters.

  • The appropriate 7th character is to be added to each code from category V36

7th Character

Indicates that a seventh character is to be assigned to codes in a subcategory.

  • A - initial encounter
  • D - subsequent encounter
  • S - sequela
