What Car Accident ICD Codes Can I Use?
There is much to pick from if you’re looking for Car Accident ICD codes. For the sake of this short guide, we only selected six ICD-10 codes for this, but they’re enough to give you an idea of what to expect when searching for such codes. Here they are:
- V03.00XA - Pedestrian on foot injured in collision with car, pick-up truck or van in nontraffic accident, initial encounter
This ICD-10 code is meant to be used on patients confirmed to be on foot when they collided with a car in a non-traffic accident. By non-traffic accident, that means they are in areas where no traffic is present. It can be as simple as the patient walking around in the suburbs and a car’s brakes stopped working, resulting in a collision between the pedestrian on foot and the car.
- V03.01XA - Pedestrian on roller-skates injured in collision with car, pick-up truck or van in nontraffic accident, initial encounter
This is similar to Item 1, but the patient is confirmed to have been a pedestrian on roller skates this time.
- V03.02XA - Pedestrian on skateboard injured in collision with car, pick-up truck or van in nontraffic accident, initial encounter
This is similar to Item 1, but this time, the patient is confirmed to have been a pedestrian on a skateboard.
- V03.10XA Pedestrian on foot injured in collision with car, pick-up truck or van in traffic accident, initial encounter
This is similar to Item 1, but the accident occurred during traffic this time.
- V03.11XA - Pedestrian on roller-skates injured in collision with car, pick-up truck or van in traffic accident, initial encounter
This is similar to Item 4, but the patient is confirmed to have been on roller skates when the accident occurred.
- V03.12XA - Pedestrian on skateboard injured in collision with car, pick-up truck or van in traffic accident, initial encounter
This is similar to Item 4, but the patient is confirmed to have been on a skateboard when the accident occurred.
