About V66.6

V66.6 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for passenger in heavy transport vehicle injured in collision with other nonmotor vehicle in traffic accident. It belongs to category V66 (occupant of heavy transport vehicle injured in collision with other nonmotor vehicle), block V60-V69 (occupant of heavy transport vehicle 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 V66, choose V66.6 (Passenger in heavy transport vehicle injured in collision with other nonmotor vehicle in traffic accident) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: driver of heavy transport vehicle injured in collision with other nonmotor vehicle in nontraffic accident (V66.0), passenger in heavy transport vehicle injured in collision with other nonmotor vehicle in nontraffic accident (V66.1), person on outside of heavy transport vehicle injured in collision with other nonmotor vehicle in nontraffic accident (V66.2), unspecified occupant of heavy transport vehicle injured in collision with other nonmotor vehicle in nontraffic accident (V66.3), person boarding or alighting a heavy transport vehicle injured in collision with other nonmotor vehicle (V66.4), driver of heavy transport vehicle injured in collision with other nonmotor vehicle in traffic accident (V66.5), person on outside of heavy transport vehicle injured in collision with other nonmotor vehicle in traffic accident (V66.7) and unspecified occupant of heavy transport vehicle injured in collision with other nonmotor vehicle in traffic accident (V66.9).

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.
