Occupant of pick-up truck or van injured in collision with car, pick-up truck or van (V53)
The ICD-10 code section V53 covers injuries sustained by occupants of pick-up trucks or vans when they are involved in collisions with cars, pick-up trucks, or vans. These codes differentiate between drivers, passengers, and other persons related to the vehicle, and specify whether the accident occurred during traffic or nontraffic situations.
This section is used to precisely classify and document the role of the injured person; for example, a driver of a pick-up truck or van in a nontraffic accident is coded as V53.0, while a passenger in a similar situation is V53.1. Codes also cover individuals outside the vehicle (V53.2), persons boarding or alighting the vehicle (V53.4), and unspecified occupants (V53.3, V53.9). Each code includes subcategories marking the stage of care; initial encounter (A), subsequent encounter (D), or sequela (S); to track treatment progress. These codes assist healthcare providers and medical coders in recording the nature of vehicle-related injuries involving pick-up trucks or vans, supporting accurate patient care and data tracking for cases of collisions with other similar vehicles.

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 V53
