V05.9Pedestrian injured in collision with railway train or railway vehicle, unspecified whether traffic or nontraffic accident

V05.9 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for pedestrian injured in collision with railway train or railway vehicle, unspecified whether traffic or nontraffic accident. It belongs to category V05 (pedestrian injured in collision with railway train or railway vehicle), block V00-V09 (pedestrian injured in transport accident) and chapter 20 (external causes of morbidity). It is a header code, so it can't be reported by itself; one of its 5 subcodes must be used instead.

Within V05, choose V05.9 (unspecified whether traffic or nontraffic accident) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: in nontraffic accident (V05.0) and in traffic accident (V05.1).

Codes in this range require a 7th character: A for initial encounter, D for subsequent encounter and S for sequela. Use placeholder "X" characters to fill any empty positions before the 7th character.

It has been part of ICD-10-CM since the code set took effect on October 1, 2015 and hasn't changed since.
