About V87.7XXA

V87.7XXA is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for person injured in collision between other specified motor vehicles (traffic), initial encounter. It belongs to category V87 (traffic accident of specified type but victim's mode of transport unknown), block V80-V89 (other land transport accidents) and chapter 20 (external causes of morbidity). It is billable, so it can be reported on its own for dates of service from October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027.

The 7th character "A" means initial encounter: use it while the patient is receiving active treatment for the condition.

It is not a CC or MCC, so as a secondary diagnosis it doesn't change the MS-DRG severity level.

It is exempt from present-on-admission (POA) reporting, so no POA indicator is required.

It has been part of ICD-10-CM since the code set took effect on October 1, 2015 and hasn't changed since.

Before ICD-10, this condition was coded in ICD-9-CM as E812.9 (other motor vehicle traffic accident involving collision with motor vehicle injuring unspecified person).
