V44.1Car passenger injured in collision with heavy transport vehicle or bus in nontraffic accident

V44.1 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for car passenger injured in collision with heavy transport vehicle or bus in nontraffic accident. It belongs to category V44 (car occupant injured in collision with heavy transport vehicle or bus), 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 V44 (car occupant injured in collision with heavy transport vehicle or bus), V44.1 is specifically for car passenger injured in collision with heavy transport vehicle or bus in nontraffic accident. Related codes cover car driver injured in collision with heavy transport vehicle or bus in nontraffic accident (V44.0), person on outside of car injured in collision with heavy transport vehicle or bus in nontraffic accident (V44.2), unspecified car occupant injured in collision with heavy transport vehicle or bus in nontraffic accident (V44.3), person boarding or alighting a car injured in collision with heavy transport vehicle or bus (V44.4), car driver injured in collision with heavy transport vehicle or bus in traffic accident (V44.5), car passenger injured in collision with heavy transport vehicle or bus in traffic accident (V44.6), person on outside of car injured in collision with heavy transport vehicle or bus in traffic accident (V44.7) and unspecified car occupant injured in collision with heavy transport vehicle or bus in traffic accident (V44.9).

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.
