About V43.12

V43.12 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for car passenger injured in collision with other type car in nontraffic accident. It belongs to category V43 (car occupant injured in collision with car, pick-up truck or van), block V40-V49 (car occupant 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 V43.1, choose V43.12 (other type car in nontraffic accident) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: sport utility vehicle in nontraffic accident (V43.11), pick-up truck in nontraffic accident (V43.13) and van in nontraffic accident (V43.14).

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.
