Pedestrian on skateboard injured in collision with pedal cycle, unspecified whether traffic or nontraffic accident
ICD-10 V01.92 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of pedestrian on skateboard injured in collision with pedal cycle, unspecified whether traffic or nontraffic accident.
The ICD-10 code V01.92 is used to classify injuries sustained by a pedestrian riding a skateboard who is involved in a collision with a pedal cycle. This code is particularly relevant in scenarios where the specifics of the accident (traffic vs. nontraffic) are not clearly defined. Such incidents can occur in various environments, including urban areas, parks, or residential neighborhoods. The injuries may range from minor abrasions to severe trauma, depending on the speed and impact of the collision. Accurate coding is essential for tracking injury patterns, understanding public health implications, and ensuring appropriate resource allocation for injury prevention programs. This code serves as a critical tool for healthcare providers and public health officials in analyzing the epidemiology of skateboard-related injuries and developing targeted interventions.
Emergency department notes should clearly document the mechanism of injury, including details about the skateboard and pedal cycle collision.
Patients presenting with lacerations, fractures, or contusions following a skateboard-pedal cycle collision.
Consideration of the patient's age and activity level, as these factors may influence injury severity and treatment.
Trauma assessments must include detailed descriptions of the injury patterns and the circumstances surrounding the collision.
Trauma cases involving multiple injuries from a skateboard-pedal cycle collision requiring surgical intervention.
Documentation should reflect the need for surgical procedures and any complications arising from the injuries.
Used when a patient presents to the emergency department with injuries from a skateboard-pedal cycle collision.
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 incident are captured.
Use V01.92 when documenting injuries from a skateboard-pedal cycle collision where the specifics of the accident (traffic vs. nontraffic) are unclear. Ensure that the documentation supports the use of this specific code.
