About V50.4

V50.4 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for person boarding or alighting a pick-up truck or van injured in collision with pedestrian or animal. It belongs to category V50 (occupant of pick-up truck or van injured in collision with pedestrian or animal), block V50-V59 (occupant of pick-up truck or van 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 V50 (occupant of pick-up truck or van injured in collision with pedestrian or animal), V50.4 is specifically for person boarding or alighting a pick-up truck or van injured in collision with pedestrian or animal. Related codes cover driver of pick-up truck or van injured in collision with pedestrian or animal in nontraffic accident (V50.0), passenger in pick-up truck or van injured in collision with pedestrian or animal in nontraffic accident (V50.1), person on outside of pick-up truck or van injured in collision with pedestrian or animal in nontraffic accident (V50.2), unspecified occupant of pick-up truck or van injured in collision with pedestrian or animal in nontraffic accident (V50.3), driver of pick-up truck or van injured in collision with pedestrian or animal in traffic accident (V50.5), passenger in pick-up truck or van injured in collision with pedestrian or animal in traffic accident (V50.6), person on outside of pick-up truck or van injured in collision with pedestrian or animal in traffic accident (V50.7) and unspecified occupant of pick-up truck or van injured in collision with pedestrian or animal in traffic accident (V50.9).

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.
