About V89.9
V89.9 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for person injured in unspecified vehicle accident. It belongs to category V89 (Motor- or nonmotor-vehicle accident, type of vehicle unspecified), 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 V89 (Motor- or nonmotor-vehicle accident, type of vehicle unspecified), V89.9 is specifically for person injured in unspecified vehicle accident. Related codes cover motor-vehicle accident, nontraffic (V89.0), nonmotor-vehicle accident, nontraffic (V89.1), motor-vehicle accident, traffic (V89.2) and nonmotor-vehicle accident, traffic (V89.3).
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.
