Pedestrian on standing electric scooter injured in collision with pedal cycle in nontraffic accident
ICD-10 V01.031 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of pedestrian on standing electric scooter injured in collision with pedal cycle in nontraffic accident.
This code is used to classify injuries sustained by a pedestrian riding a standing electric scooter who is involved in a collision with a pedal cycle, specifically in a nontraffic accident scenario. Nontraffic accidents refer to incidents that occur outside of the traditional roadway environment, such as in parks, private property, or other non-public thoroughfares. The injuries may range from minor abrasions to severe trauma, depending on the speed of the collision and the protective measures taken by the individuals involved. Accurate coding is essential for understanding the epidemiology of such incidents, which can inform public health initiatives aimed at improving safety for users of electric scooters and cyclists. Documentation should include details about the circumstances of the accident, the type of injuries sustained, and any relevant environmental factors that may have contributed to the incident.
Emergency departments must document the mechanism of injury, including details about the collision, patient presentation, and any immediate interventions performed.
Patients presenting with lacerations, fractures, or contusions following a collision between an electric scooter and a bicycle.
Consideration of the patient's history, including prior injuries or conditions that may affect recovery.
Trauma documentation should include a detailed account of the injury mechanism, injury severity, and any surgical interventions required.
Severe injuries requiring surgical intervention, such as fractures or internal injuries resulting from the collision.
Assessment of potential long-term complications from injuries sustained in the accident.
Used when a patient presents to the emergency department with injuries from a scooter-bicycle collision.
Documentation must include the patient's history, examination findings, and any treatments provided.
Emergency medicine specialists should ensure that the mechanism of injury is clearly documented.
You should document the specifics of the accident, including the location, the type of electric scooter and bicycle involved, the mechanism of injury, and any injuries sustained by the patient.
