Electric (assisted) bicycle passenger injured in collision with fixed or stationary object in nontraffic accident
ICD-10 V27.11 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of electric (assisted) bicycle passenger injured in collision with fixed or stationary object in nontraffic accident.
The V27.11 code is used to classify injuries sustained by passengers on electric (assisted) bicycles when they collide with fixed or stationary objects in nontraffic accidents. This code is particularly relevant in urban settings where electric bicycles are increasingly popular for transportation and recreation. Passengers may be injured due to sudden stops, loss of control, or collisions with obstacles such as trees, poles, or buildings. Accurate coding of this incident is crucial for understanding the epidemiology of electric bicycle-related injuries and for implementing public health strategies aimed at reducing such accidents. Documentation should include details about the nature of the collision, the type of injuries sustained, and any contributing factors such as speed, environmental conditions, and the use of safety equipment like helmets.
Emergency department notes should clearly describe the mechanism of injury, including the type of bicycle and the circumstances of the collision.
Patients presenting with fractures, lacerations, or concussions after colliding with stationary objects while riding as a passenger on an electric bicycle.
Consideration should be given to the patient's helmet use and any pre-existing conditions that may affect recovery.
Trauma documentation must include detailed descriptions of injuries, surgical interventions, and the context of the accident.
Trauma cases involving significant injuries such as head trauma or orthopedic injuries from collisions.
Trauma surgeons should be aware of the potential for multiple injuries and the need for comprehensive coding.
Used when a patient presents to the emergency department with injuries from an electric bicycle accident.
Documentation must support the level of service provided, including history, examination, and medical decision-making.
Emergency medicine specialists should ensure that all relevant details of the accident are captured.
Document the specifics of the accident, including the type of electric bicycle, the nature of the collision, the fixed object involved, and the injuries sustained by the passenger.
