V82.8 — Occupant of streetcar injured in other specified transport accidents
V82.8 is a non-billable header ICD-10-CM code for occupant of streetcar injured in other specified transport accidents. It cannot be billed on its own: choose one of the more specific child codes below. This code also requires a 7th character before it is complete.
This code requires a 7th character
The appropriate 7th character is to be added to each code from category V82

Inclusion terms
Alternative wordings a physician may use in the chart for this same code.
- Streetcar collision with military vehicle
- Streetcar collision with train or nonmotor vehicles
Other codes that can never be billed with V82.8
These codes carry an Excludes1 note pointing at V82.8. The conflict binds both ways, but ICD-10-CM only writes it down on one side — so you would not find this by reading V82.8 alone.
- V82.3Occupant of streetcar injured in collision with other object
- V82.3XXAOccupant of streetcar injured in collision with other object, initial encounter
- V82.3XXDOccupant of streetcar injured in collision with other object, subsequent encounter
- V82.3XXSOccupant of streetcar injured in collision with other object, sequela
Risk adjustment
V82.8 does not map to an HCC and does not risk-adjust under CMS-HCC V28. That is normal — most ICD-10 codes do not. It still needs to be coded correctly; it just will not move a RAF score.
How V82.8 is indexed
Coders do not find codes by browsing the tabular list — they look them up in the alphabetic index, under the word the physician wrote. These are the index entries that lead here, so you can see which chart wordings map to V82.8.
- Accident›transport›streetcar occupant›specified type NEC
- Exposure›fire, flames›in, of, on, starting in›streetcar(in motion)
