Occupant of three-wheeled motor vehicle injured in collision with pedestrian or animal (V30) ICD-10-CM

About the V30 Code Range

The ICD-10 codes V30 identify injuries sustained by occupants of three-wheeled motor vehicles when colliding with pedestrians or animals. These codes specify the role of the injured person—such as driver, passenger, or person on the outside—and whether the accident was traffic-related or nontraffic.

These codes, including detailed categories like V30.0 for the driver in nontraffic accidents and V30.5 for the driver in traffic accidents, help medical coders precisely classify injuries based on the occupant’s position and accident context. Each code can include extensions indicating the type of encounter—initial, subsequent, or sequela (complications or conditions following the original injury). This allows healthcare providers to document treatment stages accurately. While there are no listed synonyms for these codes, they specifically cover injuries from collisions involving three-wheeled motor vehicles hitting a pedestrian or animal, a unique grouping distinct from other motor vehicle accidents. Understanding the use of these ICD-10 codes for three-wheeled vehicle occupant injuries ensures precise medical coding and supports detailed injury reporting.
