Range Overview
high priority
The ICD-10 code range V10-V19 is specifically designed to document cases of pedal cycle riders injured in transport accidents. This includes a variety of scenarios, from collisions with motor vehicles to accidents involving other cyclists or pedestrians. The codes are used to capture the nature of the injury, the type of vehicle involved, and the circumstances of the accident.
Key Usage Points:
- •Always specify the type of vehicle involved in the accident.
- •Include details on the nature and location of the injury.
- •Document whether the cyclist was the driver or passenger.
- •Specify the type of transport accident (collision, non-collision).
- •Include details on any other involved parties.
Coding Guidelines
When to Use:
- ✓When a pedal cycle rider is injured in a collision with a motor vehicle.
- ✓When a pedal cycle rider is injured in a non-collision transport accident.
- ✓When a pedal cycle rider is injured in a collision with a pedestrian or animal.
- ✓When a pedal cycle rider is injured in a collision with another pedal cycle.
- ✓When a pedal cycle rider is injured in a collision with a fixed or stationary object.
When NOT to Use:
- ✗When the patient was not riding a pedal cycle at the time of the accident.
- ✗When the injury occurred due to a fall, not a transport accident.
- ✗When the injury is not related to a transport accident.
- ✗When the patient is the driver or passenger of a motor vehicle, not a pedal cycle.
- ✗When the injury is due to an assault or intentional self-harm.
Code Exclusions
Always verify the patient's role in the accident and the nature of the incident to ensure accurate coding.
Documentation Requirements
Documentation for these codes should include comprehensive details about the accident and the resulting injuries. This includes the patient's role in the accident, the type of vehicle involved, the nature of the accident, and the specific injuries sustained.
Clinical Information:
- •Type of vehicle involved
- •Nature of the accident (collision, non-collision)
- •Patient's role (driver, passenger)
- •Specific injuries sustained
- •Any other involved parties
Supporting Evidence:
- •Emergency department reports
- •Medical imaging reports
- •Surgical reports
- •Witness statements or police reports
Good Documentation Example:
Patient, a pedal cycle rider, was involved in a collision with a motor vehicle. Sustained a fracture to the right femur. Was the driver of the pedal cycle.
Poor Documentation Example:
Patient was in an accident and broke their leg.
Common Documentation Errors:
- âš Not specifying the type of vehicle involved
- âš Not documenting the nature of the accident
- âš Not including details on the patient's role
- âš Not specifying the exact injuries sustained

Complexity Rating
The complexity of these codes is medium due to the need to accurately capture a variety of factors related to the accident and the injuries. This includes the type of vehicle, the nature of the accident, the patient's role, the specific injuries, and any other involved parties.
Key Factors:
- â–¸Determining the correct code based on the vehicle involved
- â–¸Identifying the specific nature of the accident
- â–¸Documenting the patient's role in the accident
- â–¸Capturing the specific injuries sustained
- â–¸Including any other involved parties

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use these codes if the patient was not riding a pedal cycle at the time of the accident?
No, these codes are specifically for cases where the patient was riding a pedal cycle. If the patient was a pedestrian or a motor vehicle driver or passenger, use the appropriate codes from the V01-V09 range.
