About V69.1

V69.1 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for passenger in heavy transport vehicle injured in collision with other and unspecified motor vehicles in nontraffic accident. It belongs to category V69 (occupant of heavy transport vehicle injured in other and unspecified transport accidents), 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 2 subcodes must be used instead.

Within V69, choose V69.1 (Passenger in heavy transport vehicle injured in collision with other and unspecified motor vehicles in nontraffic accident) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: driver of heavy transport vehicle injured in collision with other and unspecified motor vehicles in nontraffic accident (V69.0), unspecified occupant of heavy transport vehicle injured in collision with other and unspecified motor vehicles in nontraffic accident (V69.2), occupant (driver) (passenger) of heavy transport vehicle injured in unspecified nontraffic accident (V69.3), driver of heavy transport vehicle injured in collision with other and unspecified motor vehicles in traffic accident (V69.4), passenger in heavy transport vehicle injured in collision with other and unspecified motor vehicles in traffic accident (V69.5), unspecified occupant of heavy transport vehicle injured in collision with other and unspecified motor vehicles in traffic accident (V69.6), occupant (driver) (passenger) of heavy transport vehicle injured in other specified transport accidents (V69.8) and occupant (driver) (passenger) of heavy transport vehicle injured in unspecified traffic accident (V69.9).

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.
