Occupant of pick-up truck or van injured in collision with pedestrian or animal (V50)

The ICD-10 code V50 and its subcodes classify injuries sustained by occupants of pick-up trucks or vans when involved in collisions with pedestrians or animals. These codes differentiate based on the occupant’s role, accident context, and stage of care.

This section includes codes for drivers, passengers, persons on the outside of the vehicle, and those boarding or alighting, covering both traffic and nontraffic accidents. Each specific situation; such as a driver injured in a traffic accident (V50.5) or a passenger in a nontraffic accident (V50.1); has its own code to capture precise details. The coding also allows specifying the encounter type, including initial encounters (e.g., V50.0XXA), subsequent encounters, and sequelae, which reflect the progression or consequences of the injury over time. These codes are essential for accurately documenting external causes in injuries related to collisions involving pick-up trucks or vans and pedestrians or animals, helping medical professionals and coders ensure that treatment context and injury circumstances are clearly recorded.

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.

  • pick-up truck or van collision with animal-drawn vehicle or animal being ridden V56

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 V50

7th Character

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

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