Pedal cycle rider injured in collision with other pedal cycle (V11)

The ICD-10 code V11 series captures injuries sustained by pedal cycle riders involved in collisions with other pedal cycles. These codes differentiate between drivers, passengers, persons boarding or alighting, and unspecified cyclists, with distinctions made for traffic versus nontraffic accidents and the type of encounter (initial, subsequent, or sequela).

These codes are specifically used to record cases where a cyclist is harmed due to a crash with another bicycle. For example, V11.0XXA applies to a pedal cycle driver injured in a nontraffic incident during their initial medical encounter, while V11.4XXD indicates a subsequent visit for a similar injury sustained in a traffic accident. The category also includes codes for passengers and those getting on or off the bicycle. In instances where the cyclist's role is unclear, the unspecified codes such as V11.2XXA (nontraffic) or V11.9XXA (traffic) are used. These codes enable precise documentation of injuries from bicycle-on-bicycle collisions, known in some cases as a "pedal cycle in collision with another pedal cycle," which is key for accurate medical records and reporting.

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 V11

7th Character

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

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