V43.44Person boarding or alighting a car injured in collision with van

V43.44 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for person boarding or alighting a car injured in collision with 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 3 subcodes must be used instead.

Within V43.4 (person boarding or alighting a car injured in collision with car, pick-up truck or van), V43.44 is specifically for person boarding or alighting a car injured in collision with van. Related codes cover sport utility vehicle (V43.41), other type car (V43.42) and pick-up truck (V43.43).

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.
