Occupant of three-wheeled motor vehicle injured in collision with fixed or stationary object (V37) ICD-10-CM

About the V37 Code Range

This ICD-10 code section, V37, is specifically used to classify injuries sustained by occupants of three-wheeled motor vehicles involved in collisions with fixed or stationary objects. It covers various scenarios including whether the injured person was a driver, passenger, or on the outside of the vehicle, and whether the accident occurred in a traffic or nontraffic setting.

The ICD-10 code for occupant of three-wheeled motor vehicle injured in collision with fixed or stationary object includes detailed subcodes that specify the role of the individual (driver, passenger, person on outside, or unspecified occupant) and the context of the accident (traffic vs. nontraffic). For example, V37.0XXA identifies a driver injured in a nontraffic accident during the initial medical encounter. The section also distinguishes care phases such as initial, subsequent, and sequela encounters using specific 7th character codes (A, D, S). This classification allows precise reporting of injuries related to three-wheeled motor vehicles, aiding in accurate medical documentation and statistical tracking of such unique injury events.
