V47.6XXACar passenger injured in collision with fixed or stationary object in traffic accident, initial encounter

V47.6XXA is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for car passenger injured in collision with fixed or stationary object in traffic accident, initial encounter. 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 billable, so it can be reported on its own for dates of service from October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027.

The 7th character "A" means initial encounter: use it while the patient is receiving active treatment for the condition.

It is not a CC or MCC, so as a secondary diagnosis it doesn't change the MS-DRG severity level.

It is exempt from present-on-admission (POA) reporting, so no POA indicator is required.

It was added in FY2017, effective October 1, 2016.

Before ICD-10, this condition was coded in ICD-9-CM as E812.1 (other motor vehicle traffic accident involving collision with motor vehicle injuring passenger in motor vehicle other than motorcycle).
