Pedestrian on standing micro-mobility pedestrian conveyance injured in collision with two- or three-wheeled motor vehicle in traffic accident
ICD-10 V02.13 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of pedestrian on standing micro-mobility pedestrian conveyance injured in collision with two- or three-wheeled motor vehicle in traffic accident.
V02.13 is used to classify injuries sustained by pedestrians using standing micro-mobility devices, such as electric scooters or standing bicycles, who are involved in traffic accidents with two- or three-wheeled motor vehicles. This code captures the external cause of morbidity and mortality related to such incidents, which are increasingly common in urban environments. The code is essential for understanding the epidemiology of traffic-related injuries, particularly as micro-mobility options gain popularity. Accurate coding is crucial for public health data collection, resource allocation, and injury prevention strategies. Documentation should include details about the circumstances of the accident, the type of vehicle involved, and the nature of the injuries sustained. This code is particularly relevant in emergency departments and trauma centers where such injuries are treated.
Detailed account of the accident, including time, location, and mechanism of injury.
Patients presenting with injuries from scooter accidents, including fractures and soft tissue injuries.
Consideration of local traffic laws and regulations regarding micro-mobility devices.
Comprehensive trauma assessment and documentation of injury severity.
Trauma cases involving multiple injuries from a collision with a motor vehicle.
Need for accurate coding to reflect the mechanism of injury for appropriate treatment planning.
Used when a patient presents with injuries from a micro-mobility accident.
Document the nature of the injuries and the circumstances of the accident.
Emergency medicine specialists should ensure thorough documentation to support the visit level.
V02.13 covers injuries sustained by pedestrians using standing micro-mobility devices in collisions with two- or three-wheeled motor vehicles, including fractures, concussions, and soft tissue injuries.
