V55.4Person boarding or alighting a pick-up truck or van injured in collision with railway train or railway vehicle

V55.4 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for person boarding or alighting a pick-up truck or van injured in collision with railway train or railway vehicle. It belongs to category V55 (occupant of pick-up truck or van injured in collision with railway train or railway vehicle), 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 V55 (occupant of pick-up truck or van injured in collision with railway train or railway vehicle), V55.4 is specifically for person boarding or alighting a pick-up truck or van injured in collision with railway train or railway vehicle. Related codes cover driver of pick-up truck or van injured in collision with railway train or railway vehicle in nontraffic accident (V55.0), passenger in pick-up truck or van injured in collision with railway train or railway vehicle in nontraffic accident (V55.1), person on outside of pick-up truck or van injured in collision with railway train or railway vehicle in nontraffic accident (V55.2), unspecified occupant of pick-up truck or van injured in collision with railway train or railway vehicle in nontraffic accident (V55.3), driver of pick-up truck or van injured in collision with railway train or railway vehicle in traffic accident (V55.5), passenger in pick-up truck or van injured in collision with railway train or railway vehicle in traffic accident (V55.6), person on outside of pick-up truck or van injured in collision with railway train or railway vehicle in traffic accident (V55.7) and unspecified occupant of pick-up truck or van injured in collision with railway train or railway vehicle in traffic accident (V55.9).

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.
