V70.3Unspecified occupant of bus injured in collision with pedestrian or animal in nontraffic accident

V70.3 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for unspecified occupant of bus injured in collision with pedestrian or animal in nontraffic accident. It belongs to category V70 (bus occupant injured in collision with pedestrian or animal), block V70-V79 (bus occupant 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 V70, choose V70.3 (Unspecified occupant of bus injured in collision with pedestrian or animal in nontraffic accident) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: driver of bus injured in collision with pedestrian or animal in nontraffic accident (V70.0), passenger on bus injured in collision with pedestrian or animal in nontraffic accident (V70.1), person on outside of bus injured in collision with pedestrian or animal in nontraffic accident (V70.2), person boarding or alighting from bus injured in collision with pedestrian or animal (V70.4), driver of bus injured in collision with pedestrian or animal in traffic accident (V70.5), passenger on bus injured in collision with pedestrian or animal in traffic accident (V70.6), person on outside of bus injured in collision with pedestrian or animal in traffic accident (V70.7) and unspecified occupant of bus injured in collision with pedestrian or animal in traffic accident (V70.9).

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.
