V54.4Person boarding or alighting a pick-up truck or van injured in collision with heavy transport vehicle or bus

V54.4 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for person boarding or alighting a pick-up truck or van injured in collision with heavy transport vehicle or bus. It belongs to category V54 (occupant of pick-up truck or van injured in collision with heavy transport vehicle or bus), 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 V54 (occupant of pick-up truck or van injured in collision with heavy transport vehicle or bus), V54.4 is specifically for person boarding or alighting a pick-up truck or van injured in collision with heavy transport vehicle or bus. Related codes cover driver of pick-up truck or van injured in collision with heavy transport vehicle or bus in nontraffic accident (V54.0), passenger in pick-up truck or van injured in collision with heavy transport vehicle or bus in nontraffic accident (V54.1), person on outside of pick-up truck or van injured in collision with heavy transport vehicle or bus in nontraffic accident (V54.2), unspecified occupant of pick-up truck or van injured in collision with heavy transport vehicle or bus in nontraffic accident (V54.3), driver of pick-up truck or van injured in collision with heavy transport vehicle or bus in traffic accident (V54.5), passenger in pick-up truck or van injured in collision with heavy transport vehicle or bus in traffic accident (V54.6), person on outside of pick-up truck or van injured in collision with heavy transport vehicle or bus in traffic accident (V54.7) and unspecified occupant of pick-up truck or van injured in collision with heavy transport vehicle or bus in traffic accident (V54.9).

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.
