V69.40Driver of heavy transport vehicle injured in collision with unspecified motor vehicles in traffic accident

V69.40 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for driver of heavy transport vehicle injured in collision with unspecified motor vehicles in traffic 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 3 subcodes must be used instead.

Within V69.4, choose V69.40 (unspecified motor vehicles in traffic accident) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: other motor vehicles in traffic accident (V69.49).

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.
