About V82.9

V82.9 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for occupant of streetcar injured in unspecified traffic accident. It belongs to category V82 (occupant of powered streetcar 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 V82, choose V82.9 (Occupant of streetcar injured in unspecified traffic accident) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: occupant of streetcar injured in collision with motor vehicle in nontraffic accident (V82.0), occupant of streetcar injured in collision with motor vehicle in traffic accident (V82.1), occupant of streetcar injured in collision with or hit by rolling stock (V82.2), occupant of streetcar injured in collision with other object (V82.3), person injured while boarding or alighting from streetcar (V82.4), occupant of streetcar injured by fall in streetcar (V82.5), occupant of streetcar injured by fall from streetcar (V82.6), occupant of streetcar injured in derailment without antecedent collision (V82.7) and 1 more.

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.
