Pedal cycle rider injured in other and unspecified transport accidents (V19) ICD-10-CM

About the V19 Code Range

The V19 series of ICD-10 codes are used to classify injuries sustained by pedal cycle riders (drivers or passengers) involved in various types of transport accidents, including collisions with motor vehicles, military vehicles, and other specified or unspecified transport incidents.

These codes detail whether the accident occurred in traffic or nontraffic settings and specify the type of vehicle involved, such as unspecified motor vehicles, other motor vehicles, or military vehicles. The classification also differentiates the patient's role as pedal cycle driver or passenger and includes codes for initial, subsequent, or sequela encounters. For example, the ICD-10 code for a pedal cycle driver injured in a collision with other motor vehicles in a traffic accident is V19.49. Some codes have synonyms like "bicycle accident" or "pedal cycle accident," helping coders link common terms to the correct codes, such as V19.9XXA for an unspecified traffic accident involving a cyclist.

This section assists healthcare professionals and coders in accurately documenting and coding injuries from diverse transport-related incidents involving cyclists, supporting clear reporting for injury cause and context.
