V29.6Unspecified motorcycle rider injured in collision with other and unspecified motor vehicles in traffic accident

V29.6 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for unspecified motorcycle rider injured in collision with other and unspecified motor vehicles in traffic accident. It belongs to category V29 (motorcycle rider injured in other and unspecified transport accidents), 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 2 subcodes must be used instead.

Within V29, choose V29.6 (Unspecified motorcycle rider injured in collision with other and unspecified motor vehicles in traffic accident) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: motorcycle driver injured in collision with other and unspecified motor vehicles in nontraffic accident (V29.0), motorcycle passenger injured in collision with other and unspecified motor vehicles in nontraffic accident (V29.1), unspecified motorcycle rider injured in collision with other and unspecified motor vehicles in nontraffic accident (V29.2), motorcycle rider (driver) (passenger) injured in unspecified nontraffic accident (V29.3), motorcycle driver injured in collision with other and unspecified motor vehicles in traffic accident (V29.4), motorcycle passenger injured in collision with other and unspecified motor vehicles in traffic accident (V29.5), motorcycle rider (driver) (passenger) injured in other specified transport accidents (V29.8) and motorcycle rider (driver) (passenger) injured in unspecified traffic accident (V29.9).

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.
