About V20.2
V20.2 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for unspecified motorcycle rider injured in collision with pedestrian or animal in nontraffic accident. It belongs to category V20 (motorcycle rider injured in collision with pedestrian or animal), 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 5 subcodes must be used instead.
Within V20, choose V20.2 (Unspecified motorcycle rider injured in collision with pedestrian or animal in nontraffic accident) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: motorcycle driver injured in collision with pedestrian or animal in nontraffic accident (V20.0), motorcycle passenger injured in collision with pedestrian or animal in nontraffic accident (V20.1), person boarding or alighting a motorcycle injured in collision with pedestrian or animal (V20.3), motorcycle driver injured in collision with pedestrian or animal in traffic accident (V20.4), motorcycle passenger injured in collision with pedestrian or animal in traffic accident (V20.5) and unspecified motorcycle rider injured in collision with pedestrian or animal in traffic accident (V20.9).
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.
