About V09.3
V09.3 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for pedestrian injured in unspecified traffic accident. It belongs to category V09 (pedestrian injured in other and unspecified transport accidents), 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 3 subcodes must be used instead.
Within V09, choose V09.3 (unspecified traffic accident) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: nontraffic accident involving other and unspecified motor vehicles (V09.0), unspecified nontraffic accident (V09.1), traffic accident involving other and unspecified motor vehicles (V09.2) and unspecified transport accident (V09.9).
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.
