Pedestrian with other conveyance injured in collision with pedal cycle in traffic accident
ICD-10 V01.19 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of pedestrian with other conveyance injured in collision with pedal cycle in traffic accident.
The ICD-10 code V01.19 is used to classify injuries sustained by pedestrians who are using other forms of conveyance, such as scooters, skateboards, or wheelchairs, when they are involved in a collision with a pedal cycle (bicycle) during a traffic accident. This code is essential for capturing the external cause of morbidity and mortality related to traffic incidents, particularly as urban environments see an increase in mixed modes of transportation. Accurate coding of such incidents helps in understanding the epidemiology of traffic-related injuries and informs public health initiatives aimed at improving road safety. Documentation should include details about the circumstances of the accident, the type of conveyance used by the pedestrian, and the nature of the injuries sustained. This code is critical for trauma registries and public health data collection, as it helps identify trends and areas for intervention in traffic safety.
Emergency department notes should clearly document the mechanism of injury, type of conveyance, and any relevant traffic conditions.
Patients presenting with fractures, lacerations, or contusions after being struck by a bicycle while using a scooter.
Ensure that all relevant details are captured in the initial assessment to support accurate coding.
Trauma registries require detailed accounts of the injury mechanism, including the type of conveyance and collision specifics.
Trauma cases involving significant injuries from bicycle collisions, necessitating surgical intervention.
Consider the potential for multiple injuries and the need for comprehensive coding to reflect the full extent of trauma.
Used when a patient presents to the emergency department with injuries from a bicycle collision.
Documentation must include the nature of the injuries and the mechanism of injury.
Emergency medicine specialists should ensure that all relevant details are captured for accurate coding.
Documentation should include the type of conveyance used by the pedestrian, details of the collision, the location of the accident, and the nature of the injuries sustained.
