How is V86.31 listed in the External Cause Index?

These are the routes through the External Cause of Injuries Index that lead to V86.31 — how the injury happened, rather than what the injury was.

  • Accident › transport › ambulance occupant (to)

Excludes1 — never code together — inherited from V86

The conditions below can never be reported together with V86.31 on the same claim. An Excludes1 note means the two conditions cannot occur in the same patient, so reporting both is a coding error.

  • special all-terrain vehicle in stationary use or maintenance (W31.-)
  • sport-utility vehicle (V50-V59)
  • three-wheeled motor vehicle designed for on-road use (V30-V39)
