V53.5XXDDriver of pick-up truck or van injured in collision with car, pick-up truck or van in traffic accident, subsequent encounter

V53.5XXD is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for driver of pick-up truck or van injured in collision with car, pick-up truck or van in traffic accident, subsequent encounter. It belongs to category V53 (occupant of pick-up truck or van injured in collision with car, pick-up truck or van), block V50-V59 (occupant of pick-up truck or van injured in transport accident) 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 "D" means subsequent encounter: use it for encounters after active treatment, while the patient is healing or recovering.

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 E812.0 (other motor vehicle traffic accident involving collision with motor vehicle injuring driver of motor vehicle other than motorcycle).
