Pedestrian injured in collision with car, pick-up truck or van (V03) ICD-10-CM

About the V03 Code Range

The ICD-10 code V03 category covers injuries sustained by pedestrians in collisions with cars, pick-up trucks, or vans. These codes specify the type of pedestrian conveyance involved (such as on foot, roller-skates, skateboard, or standing micro-mobility devices) and whether the accident was a traffic or nontraffic incident.

This section includes detailed codes that identify the exact circumstances of the injury, like the ICD-10 code for pedestrian injured on foot in a nontraffic accident (V03.00), or those injured while using micro-mobility devices like electric scooters (e.g., V03.031). The coding also distinguishes between initial encounters, subsequent encounters, and sequela (long-term effects) of the injury, using specific 7th characters such as “A” for initial and “D” for subsequent. For example, a pedestrian injured during a motor car rally (synonyms for V03.00XA) is classified under these codes to clarify nontraffic contexts. These codes help medical coders accurately capture external causes of pedestrian injuries related to motor vehicles, aiding precise billing and patient record documentation.
