About V27.59

V27.59 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for other motorcycle passenger injured in collision with fixed or stationary object in traffic accident. 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 3 subcodes must be used instead.

Within V27.5, choose V27.59 (Other motorcycle passenger injured in collision with fixed or stationary object in traffic accident) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: electric (assisted) bicycle passenger injured in collision with fixed or stationary object in traffic accident (V27.51).

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 was added in FY2023, effective October 1, 2022.
