V24.2Unspecified motorcycle rider injured in collision with heavy transport vehicle or bus in nontraffic accident

V24.2 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for unspecified motorcycle rider injured in collision with heavy transport vehicle or bus in nontraffic accident. It belongs to category V24 (motorcycle rider injured in collision with heavy transport vehicle or bus), 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 V24, choose V24.2 (Unspecified motorcycle rider injured in collision with heavy transport vehicle or bus in nontraffic accident) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: motorcycle driver injured in collision with heavy transport vehicle or bus in nontraffic accident (V24.0), motorcycle passenger injured in collision with heavy transport vehicle or bus in nontraffic accident (V24.1), person boarding or alighting a motorcycle injured in collision with heavy transport vehicle or bus (V24.3), motorcycle driver injured in collision with heavy transport vehicle or bus in traffic accident (V24.4), motorcycle passenger injured in collision with heavy transport vehicle or bus in traffic accident (V24.5) and unspecified motorcycle rider injured in collision with heavy transport vehicle or bus in traffic accident (V24.9).

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.
