About V70.3XXD

V70.3XXD is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for unspecified occupant of bus injured in collision with pedestrian or animal in nontraffic accident, subsequent encounter. It belongs to category V70 (bus occupant injured in collision with pedestrian or animal), block V70-V79 (bus occupant 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 E822.9 (other motor vehicle nontraffic accident involving collision with moving object injuring unspecified person).
