About V81.83

V81.83 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for occupant of railway train or railway vehicle injured due to collision with military vehicle. It belongs to category V81 (occupant of railway train or railway vehicle injured in transport accident), block V80-V89 (other land transport accidents) 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 V81.8 (occupant of railway train or railway vehicle injured in other specified railway accidents), V81.83 is specifically for occupant of railway train or railway vehicle injured due to collision with military vehicle. Related codes cover explosion or fire on train (V81.81), object falling onto train (V81.82) and other specified railway accident (V81.89).

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.
