About V59.8

V59.8 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for occupant (driver) (passenger) of pick-up truck or van injured in other specified transport accidents. It belongs to category V59 (occupant of pick-up truck or van injured in other and unspecified transport accidents), 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 2 subcodes must be used instead.

Within V59, choose V59.8 (Occupant (driver) (passenger) of pick-up truck or van injured in other specified transport accidents) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: driver of pick-up truck or van injured in collision with other and unspecified motor vehicles in nontraffic accident (V59.0), passenger in pick-up truck or van injured in collision with other and unspecified motor vehicles in nontraffic accident (V59.1), unspecified occupant of pick-up truck or van injured in collision with other and unspecified motor vehicles in nontraffic accident (V59.2), occupant (driver) (passenger) of pick-up truck or van injured in unspecified nontraffic accident (V59.3), driver of pick-up truck or van injured in collision with other and unspecified motor vehicles in traffic accident (V59.4), passenger in pick-up truck or van injured in collision with other and unspecified motor vehicles in traffic accident (V59.5), unspecified occupant of pick-up truck or van injured in collision with other and unspecified motor vehicles in traffic accident (V59.6) and occupant (driver) (passenger) of pick-up truck or van injured in unspecified traffic accident (V59.9).

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.
