Occupant of heavy transport vehicle injured in collision with other nonmotor vehicle (V66)

The ICD-10 code V66 and its subcategories are used to classify injuries sustained by occupants of heavy transport vehicles involved in collisions with nonmotor vehicles. These codes specify the role of the person injured, such as driver, passenger, or person on the outside of the vehicle, and differentiate between traffic and nontraffic accidents as well as the encounter status, like initial, subsequent, or sequela.

This set of codes covers detailed scenarios where a heavy transport vehicle occupant; whether identified as a driver (V66.0, V66.5), passenger (V66.1, V66.6), or person on the outside (V66.2, V66.7); suffers injuries from collisions with nonmotor vehicles like bicycles or pedestrians. The codes also include cases where the occupant is boarding or alighting the vehicle (V66.4). Each category is further divided by the type of accident (traffic or nontraffic) and by the stage of care with seventh characters indicating initial encounter (XXA), subsequent encounter (XXD), or sequela (XXS). Use these codes for precise documentation of injuries to heavy vehicle occupants in such unique incident circumstances, supporting clear differentiation needed in medical and billing records involving large transport vehicles in unusual collision contexts.

Instructional Notations

Includes

This note appears immediately under a three character code title to further define, or give examples of, the content of the category.

  • collision with animal-drawn vehicle, animal being ridden, streetcar

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 V66

7th Character

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

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