V34.9Unspecified occupant of three-wheeled motor vehicle injured in collision with heavy transport vehicle or bus in traffic accident

V34.9 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for unspecified occupant of three-wheeled motor vehicle injured in collision with heavy transport vehicle or bus in traffic accident. It belongs to category V34 (occupant of three-wheeled motor vehicle injured in collision with heavy transport vehicle or bus), block V30-V39 (occupant of three-wheeled motor vehicle 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 V34, choose V34.9 (Unspecified occupant of three-wheeled motor vehicle injured in collision with heavy transport vehicle or bus in traffic accident) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: driver of three-wheeled motor vehicle injured in collision with heavy transport vehicle or bus in nontraffic accident (V34.0), passenger in three-wheeled motor vehicle injured in collision with heavy transport vehicle or bus in nontraffic accident (V34.1), person on outside of three-wheeled motor vehicle injured in collision with heavy transport vehicle or bus in nontraffic accident (V34.2), unspecified occupant of three-wheeled motor vehicle injured in collision with heavy transport vehicle or bus in nontraffic accident (V34.3), person boarding or alighting a three-wheeled motor vehicle injured in collision with heavy transport vehicle or bus (V34.4), driver of three-wheeled motor vehicle injured in collision with heavy transport vehicle or bus in traffic accident (V34.5), passenger in three-wheeled motor vehicle injured in collision with heavy transport vehicle or bus in traffic accident (V34.6) and person on outside of three-wheeled motor vehicle injured in collision with heavy transport vehicle or bus in traffic accident (V34.7).

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.
