About V12.3
V12.3 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for person boarding or alighting a pedal cycle injured in collision with two- or three-wheeled motor vehicle. It belongs to category V12 (pedal cycle rider injured in collision with two- or three-wheeled motor vehicle), block V10-V19 (pedal cycle rider 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 V12 (pedal cycle rider injured in collision with two- or three-wheeled motor vehicle), V12.3 is specifically for person boarding or alighting a pedal cycle injured in collision with two- or three-wheeled motor vehicle. Related codes cover pedal cycle driver injured in collision with two- or three-wheeled motor vehicle in nontraffic accident (V12.0), pedal cycle passenger injured in collision with two- or three-wheeled motor vehicle in nontraffic accident (V12.1), unspecified pedal cyclist injured in collision with two- or three-wheeled motor vehicle in nontraffic accident (V12.2), pedal cycle driver injured in collision with two- or three-wheeled motor vehicle in traffic accident (V12.4), pedal cycle passenger injured in collision with two- or three-wheeled motor vehicle in traffic accident (V12.5) and unspecified pedal cyclist injured in collision with two- or three-wheeled motor vehicle in traffic accident (V12.9).
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.
