Person boarding or alighting other motorcycle injured in collision with fixed or stationary object
ICD-10 V27.39 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of person boarding or alighting other motorcycle injured in collision with fixed or stationary object.
The ICD-10 code V27.39 is used to classify injuries sustained by individuals who are boarding or alighting from a motorcycle and are subsequently involved in a collision with a fixed or stationary object. This scenario typically occurs in urban environments where motorcycles are prevalent, and the risk of accidents increases due to factors such as traffic density, road conditions, and rider behavior. Injuries may range from minor abrasions to severe trauma, including fractures, head injuries, and internal injuries, depending on the speed of the motorcycle and the nature of the collision. Accurate coding of this incident is crucial for understanding the epidemiology of motorcycle-related injuries and for implementing public health strategies aimed at reducing such occurrences. Documentation should include details about the circumstances of the incident, the type of motorcycle involved, and the nature of the injuries sustained.
Emergency department records should clearly outline the mechanism of injury, including details about the motorcycle and the stationary object involved.
Patients presenting with trauma after a motorcycle accident, particularly those involving fixed objects like poles or barriers.
Consideration of concurrent injuries and the need for comprehensive documentation to support coding.
Trauma registries should include detailed descriptions of the injury mechanism and the patient's trajectory during the incident.
Trauma cases involving significant injuries from motorcycle collisions with fixed objects.
Accurate coding is essential for trauma outcomes analysis and resource allocation.
Used when a patient presents with injuries from a motorcycle collision.
Documentation must support the level of service, including history, examination, and medical decision-making.
Emergency medicine specialists should ensure that all relevant details of the incident are captured.
Accurate coding of V27.39 is essential for understanding the epidemiology of motorcycle-related injuries, guiding public health interventions, and ensuring appropriate reimbursement for healthcare services.
