Occupant of three-wheeled motor vehicle injured in collision with pedal cycle (V31)

The ICD-10 code V31 and its subcodes are used to classify injuries sustained by occupants of three-wheeled motor vehicles when involved in collisions with pedal cycles. These codes capture different roles such as driver, passenger, person on the outside, or individuals boarding or alighting from the vehicle during either traffic or nontraffic accidents.

This section covers specific circumstances, including whether the injury occurred during a traffic accident or a nontraffic accident, and further distinguishes the encounter phase; initial, subsequent, or sequela (complications or conditions resulting from the injury). For example, V31.0XXA identifies a driver injured in a nontraffic collision with a pedal cycle during the initial encounter. These detailed distinctions in the ICD-10 code for occupant of three-wheeled motor vehicle injured in collision with pedal cycle allow healthcare professionals and medical coders to accurately record the role of the injured person, type of accident, and treatment phase, which assists in precise documentation and appropriate care management.

Instructional Notations

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 V31

7th Character

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

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