About V20

V20 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for motorcycle rider injured in collision with pedestrian or animal. It belongs to block V20-V29 (motorcycle 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 7 subcodes must be used instead.

To report this condition, pick the subcode that matches the documentation: V20.0 (accident), V20.1 (accident), V20.2 (accident), V20.3 (animal), V20.4 (accident), V20.5 (accident) and V20.9 (accident).

Don't report V20 together with the conditions in its Excludes1 note: motorcycle rider collision with animal-drawn vehicle or animal being ridden (V26.-).

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