Occupant of three-wheeled motor vehicle injured in collision with railway train or railway vehicle (V35)

The ICD-10 codes V35 and its subcategories are used to identify injuries sustained by occupants of three-wheeled motor vehicles involved in collisions with railway trains or railway vehicles. These codes specify various roles such as driver, passenger, or person on the outside of the vehicle, and differentiate whether the incident was a traffic or nontraffic accident.

These codes help precisely document injuries from crashes involving three-wheeled motor vehicles and rail collisions. For example, V35.0 codes cover the driver injured in nontraffic accidents, while V35.5 codes refer to drivers injured in traffic accidents. Similar distinctions exist for passengers (V35.1 and V35.6), persons on the outside of the vehicle (V35.2 and V35.7), and unspecified occupants (V35.3 and V35.9). Each category includes further subdivisions for initial encounters, subsequent encounters, or sequela (long-term effects). These detailed codes facilitate accurate reporting and analysis of such specific motor-rail collision injuries in medical records, helping healthcare providers and coders capture the circumstances and status of each case.

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 V35

7th Character

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

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