About V22.4
V22.4 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for motorcycle driver injured in collision with two- or three-wheeled motor vehicle in traffic accident. It belongs to category V22 (motorcycle rider injured in collision with two- or three-wheeled motor vehicle), 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 V22 (motorcycle rider injured in collision with two- or three-wheeled motor vehicle), V22.4 is specifically for motorcycle driver injured in collision with two- or three-wheeled motor vehicle in traffic accident.
