Occupant of three-wheeled motor vehicle injured in collision with pedal cycle (V31) ICD-10-CM

About the V31 Code Range

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.
