Occupant of heavy transport vehicle injured in collision with heavy transport vehicle or bus (V64)

The ICD-10 code V64 series is used to specify injuries sustained by occupants of heavy transport vehicles during collisions with other heavy transport vehicles or buses. These codes distinguish the type of occupant; driver, passenger, person on the outside, or someone boarding or alighting; and whether the incident occurred in a traffic or nontraffic accident.

These codes, such as V64.0 for drivers injured in nontraffic incidents and V64.5 for drivers injured in traffic accidents, provide detailed classification for accurate injury reporting. They also include specific encounter types: initial (XXA), subsequent (XXD), and sequela (XXS). Although there are no listed synonyms, medical coders should use these codes when documenting injuries related to heavy vehicle collisions that involve truck or bus occupants to ensure precise external cause coding in both clinical and administrative contexts.

Instructional Notations

Type 1 Excludes

A type 1 excludes note is a pure excludes note. It means "NOT CODED HERE!" An Excludes1 note indicates that the code excluded should never be used at the same time as the code above the Excludes1 note. An Excludes1 is used when two conditions cannot occur together, such as a congenital form versus an acquired form of the same condition.

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 V64

7th Character

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

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