Occupant of pick-up truck or van injured in collision with heavy transport vehicle or bus (V54)

The ICD-10 code V54 covers injuries sustained by occupants of pick-up trucks or vans involved in collisions with heavy transport vehicles or buses. These codes specify the role of the injured person (driver, passenger, person outside the vehicle, or unspecified occupant) and distinguish between traffic and nontraffic accidents.

This section details codes such as V54.0 for a driver injured in a nontraffic collision and V54.5 for a driver injured in a traffic accident. Corresponding codes exist for passengers (V54.1, V54.6), persons outside the vehicle (V54.2, V54.7), and unspecified occupants (V54.3, V54.9). Each code includes extensions that specify the stage of care, like initial encounter, subsequent encounter, or sequela. These codes are specifically used to identify and classify injuries related to collisions involving pick-up trucks or vans and larger heavy transport vehicles or buses, assisting medical coders in accurately documenting the nature and circumstances of these injuries for proper reporting and clinical management.

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 V54

7th Character

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

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