Occupant of three-wheeled motor vehicle injured in noncollision transport accident (V38) ICD-10-CM

About the V38 Code Range

The ICD-10 code V38 series is used to identify injuries to individuals involved in noncollision transport accidents with three-wheeled motor vehicles. These codes classify injuries based on the person's role, such as driver, passenger, or person outside the vehicle, and whether the accident occurred during traffic or nontraffic conditions.

Specifically, these codes cover scenarios where the occupant or related person is injured without a collision, including boarding or alighting from the vehicle. For example, V38.0 identifies a driver injured in a noncollision, nontraffic accident, while V38.5 refers to a driver injured in a traffic-related noncollision incident. Codes include extensions for the initial encounter (XXA), subsequent encounters (XXD), and sequelae (XXS), supporting detailed documentation of injury progression. The ICD-10 code for occupant of three-wheeled motor vehicle injured in noncollision transport accidents helps medical coders differentiate injuries by the victim's position and circumstances, ensuring precise reporting and care management.
