About V39.6

V39.6 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for unspecified occupant of three-wheeled motor vehicle injured in collision with other and unspecified motor vehicles in traffic accident. It belongs to category V39 (occupant of three-wheeled motor vehicle injured in other and unspecified transport accidents), block V30-V39 (occupant of three-wheeled motor vehicle injured in transport accident) and chapter 20 (external causes of morbidity). It is a header code, so it can't be reported by itself; one of its 2 subcodes must be used instead.

Within V39, choose V39.6 (Unspecified occupant of three-wheeled motor vehicle injured in collision with other and unspecified motor vehicles in traffic accident) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: driver of three-wheeled motor vehicle injured in collision with other and unspecified motor vehicles in nontraffic accident (V39.0), passenger in three-wheeled motor vehicle injured in collision with other and unspecified motor vehicles in nontraffic accident (V39.1), unspecified occupant of three-wheeled motor vehicle injured in collision with other and unspecified motor vehicles in nontraffic accident (V39.2), occupant (driver) (passenger) of three-wheeled motor vehicle injured in unspecified nontraffic accident (V39.3), driver of three-wheeled motor vehicle injured in collision with other and unspecified motor vehicles in traffic accident (V39.4), passenger in three-wheeled motor vehicle injured in collision with other and unspecified motor vehicles in traffic accident (V39.5), occupant (driver) (passenger) of three-wheeled motor vehicle injured in other specified transport accidents (V39.8) and occupant (driver) (passenger) of three-wheeled motor vehicle injured in unspecified traffic accident (V39.9).

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.
