V44Car occupant injured in collision with heavy transport vehicle or bus

V44 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for car occupant injured in collision with heavy transport vehicle or bus. It belongs to 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 9 subcodes must be used instead.

To report this condition, pick the subcode that matches the documentation: V44.0 (accident), V44.1 (accident), V44.2 (accident), V44.3 (accident), V44.4 (bus), V44.5 (accident), V44.6 (accident), V44.7 (accident) and 1 more.

Don't report V44 together with the conditions in its Excludes1 note: car occupant injured in collision with military vehicle (V49.81).

It has been part of ICD-10-CM since the code set took effect on October 1, 2015 and hasn't changed since.
