About V20.59

V20.59 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for other motorcycle passenger injured in collision with pedestrian or animal in traffic 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 3 subcodes must be used instead.

Within V20.5, choose V20.59 (Other motorcycle passenger injured in collision with pedestrian or animal in traffic accident) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: electric (assisted) bicycle passenger injured in collision with pedestrian or animal in traffic accident (V20.51).

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 was added in FY2023, effective October 1, 2022.
