About V26

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: V26.0 (accident), V26.1 (accident), V26.2 (accident), V26.3 (vehicle), V26.4 (accident), V26.5 (accident) and V26.9 (accident).
