V47.6Car passenger injured in collision with fixed or stationary object in traffic accident

V47.6 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for car passenger injured in collision with fixed or stationary object in traffic accident. It belongs to category V47 (car occupant injured in collision with fixed or stationary object), 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 5 subcodes must be used instead.

Within V47 (car occupant injured in collision with fixed or stationary object), V47.6 is specifically for car passenger injured in collision with fixed or stationary object in traffic accident. Related codes cover car driver injured in collision with fixed or stationary object in nontraffic accident (V47.0), car passenger injured in collision with fixed or stationary object in nontraffic accident (V47.1), person on outside of car injured in collision with fixed or stationary object in nontraffic accident (V47.2), unspecified car occupant injured in collision with fixed or stationary object in nontraffic accident (V47.3), person boarding or alighting a car injured in collision with fixed or stationary object (V47.4), car driver injured in collision with fixed or stationary object in traffic accident (V47.5), person on outside of car injured in collision with fixed or stationary object in traffic accident (V47.7) and unspecified car occupant injured in collision with fixed or stationary object in traffic accident (V47.9).

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.
