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. Related codes cover motorcycle driver injured in collision with fixed or stationary object in nontraffic accident (V27.0), motorcycle passenger injured in collision with fixed or stationary object in nontraffic accident (V27.1), unspecified motorcycle rider injured in collision with fixed or stationary object in nontraffic accident (V27.2), motorcycle driver injured in collision with fixed or stationary object in traffic accident (V27.4), motorcycle passenger injured in collision with fixed or stationary object in traffic accident (V27.5) and unspecified motorcycle rider injured in collision with fixed or stationary object in traffic accident (V27.9).

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.
