V56.4Person boarding or alighting a pick-up truck or van injured in collision with other nonmotor vehicle

V56.4 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for person boarding or alighting a pick-up truck or van injured in collision with other nonmotor vehicle. It belongs to category V56 (occupant of pick-up truck or van injured in collision with other nonmotor 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 V56, choose V56.4 (Person boarding or alighting a pick-up truck or van injured in collision with other nonmotor vehicle) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: driver of pick-up truck or van injured in collision with other nonmotor vehicle in nontraffic accident (V56.0), passenger in pick-up truck or van injured in collision with other nonmotor vehicle in nontraffic accident (V56.1), person on outside of pick-up truck or van injured in collision with other nonmotor vehicle in nontraffic accident (V56.2), unspecified occupant of pick-up truck or van injured in collision with other nonmotor vehicle in nontraffic accident (V56.3), driver of pick-up truck or van injured in collision with other nonmotor vehicle in traffic accident (V56.5), passenger in pick-up truck or van injured in collision with other nonmotor vehicle in traffic accident (V56.6), person on outside of pick-up truck or van injured in collision with other nonmotor vehicle in traffic accident (V56.7) and unspecified occupant of pick-up truck or van injured in collision with other nonmotor vehicle in traffic accident (V56.9).

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.
