V46: Car occupant injured in collision with other nonmotor vehicle
V46.9: Car occupant injured in collision with other nonmotor vehicle : unspecified car occupant injured in traffic accident
The ICD-10 code V46.9 is associated with injuries sustained by a car occupant during a collision with a non-motor vehicle during a traffic accident. This is an unspecified code, meaning it can refer to any injury types - whether minimal or severe - without a specific mention of a particular injury acquired from the accident, it might be cuts, fractures, bruises, or internal injuries. A non-motor vehicle referred here is any vehicle that is not powered by an engine, this could include bicycles, horse-drawn vehicles, or those pulled by an animal. It is important to note that an accident within this category occurred in traffic, which differentiates it from those that occur in non-traffic situations such as a parking lot or private property.
