Occupant of heavy transport vehicle injured in collision with other nonmotor vehicle (V66) ICD-10-CM

About the V66 Code Range

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.
