Occupant of heavy transport vehicle injured in collision with car, pick-up truck or van (V63)

The ICD-10 code V63 series is used to classify injuries sustained by occupants of heavy transport vehicles when they collide with cars, pick-up trucks, or vans. These codes differentiate between drivers, passengers, or individuals outside the vehicle affected in either traffic or nontraffic accidents.

This set of codes captures various scenarios such as injuries to the driver (V63.0 and V63.5), passengers (V63.1 and V63.6), persons outside the heavy vehicle (V63.2 and V63.7), and those boarding or alighting (V63.4). Additionally, the series accounts for the injury phase including initial encounter, subsequent encounters, and sequela (long-term effects), using seventh character extensions like "A," "D," and "S." While not including common synonyms, these codes specifically address heavy transport vehicle incidents involving smaller vehicles such as cars, pick-ups, or vans. For medical coders, knowing the right ICD-10 code for occupant of heavy transport vehicle injured in collision with car, pick-up truck or van helps ensure precise documentation of the injury cause related to the victim’s position and accident type.

Instructional Notations

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 V63

7th Character

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

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