About V27.3
V27.3 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for person boarding or alighting a motorcycle injured in collision with fixed or stationary object. It belongs to category V27 (motorcycle rider injured in collision with fixed or stationary object), 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 V27 (motorcycle rider injured in collision with fixed or stationary object), V27.3 is specifically for person boarding or alighting a motorcycle injured in collision with fixed or stationary object.

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.
