V43.4Person boarding or alighting a car injured in collision with car, pick-up truck or van

V43.4 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for person boarding or alighting a car injured in collision with car, pick-up truck or van. 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 4 subcodes must be used instead.

Within V43 (car occupant injured in collision with car, pick-up truck or van), V43.4 is specifically for person boarding or alighting a car injured in collision with car, pick-up truck or van. Related codes cover car driver injured in collision with car, pick-up truck or van in nontraffic accident (V43.0), car passenger injured in collision with car, pick-up truck or van in nontraffic accident (V43.1), person on outside of car injured in collision with car, pick-up truck or van in nontraffic accident (V43.2), unspecified car occupant injured in collision with car, pick-up truck or van in nontraffic accident (V43.3), car driver injured in collision with car, pick-up truck or van in traffic accident (V43.5), car passenger injured in collision with car, pick-up truck or van in traffic accident (V43.6), person on outside of car injured in collision with car, pick-up truck or van in traffic accident (V43.7) and unspecified car occupant injured in collision with car, pick-up truck or van in traffic accident (V43.9).

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.
