Pedal cycle rider injured in collision with two- or three-wheeled motor vehicle (V12)
The ICD-10 code V12 series is specifically used to classify injuries sustained by pedal cycle riders in collisions with two- or three-wheeled motor vehicles. These codes distinguish the circumstances of the accident, such as whether it occurred during traffic or nontraffic conditions, and the status of the pedal cyclist involved, including driver, passenger, or person boarding or alighting.
This section addresses incidents involving pedal cycles (commonly known as bicycles) when they collide with motorized two- or three-wheeled vehicles like motorcycles or mopeds. For example, V12.0 refers to a pedal cycle driver injured in a nontraffic accident, while V12.4 represents injuries to a pedal cycle driver in a traffic accident. The codes also cover different stages of medical care: initial encounter (e.g., V12.0XXA), subsequent encounters (e.g., V12.0XXD), and sequela or complications following the injury (e.g., V12.0XXS). These distinctions help medical coders accurately document the nature and timing of the injury treatment, supporting appropriate clinical and billing records for conditions such as bicycle accidents involving motorbikes or trikes. The ICD-10 code for injuries occurring specifically to pedal cycle riders underscores the importance of identifying the vehicle types and accident context in injury classification.

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 V12
7th Character
Indicates that a seventh character is to be assigned to codes in a subcategory.
- A - initial encounter
- D - subsequent encounter
- S - sequela
