Pedestrian on foot injured in collision with two- or three-wheeled motor vehicle, unspecified whether traffic or nontraffic accident
ICD-10 V02.90 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of pedestrian on foot injured in collision with two- or three-wheeled motor vehicle, unspecified whether traffic or nontraffic accident.
The ICD-10 code V02.90 is used to classify injuries sustained by pedestrians involved in collisions with two- or three-wheeled motor vehicles, without specifying whether the incident occurred in a traffic or nontraffic context. This code is crucial for capturing data related to pedestrian injuries, which can inform public health initiatives and traffic safety programs. Clinical scenarios may include a pedestrian being struck by a motorcycle or scooter while crossing a street or walking on a sidewalk. Accurate coding is essential for understanding the epidemiology of pedestrian injuries, which can help in developing targeted interventions to reduce such incidents. Documentation should include details about the circumstances of the collision, the type of vehicle involved, and the location of the incident to ensure proper coding and analysis of external causes of morbidity and mortality.
Emergency department notes should clearly document the mechanism of injury, type of vehicle, and any relevant patient history.
A patient presents to the ER after being struck by a motorcycle while walking on a sidewalk.
Ensure that the documentation specifies whether the incident was traffic-related, as this impacts coding.
Trauma notes must detail the injury mechanism, including the type of vehicle and the circumstances of the collision.
A trauma patient arrives after being hit by a scooter while crossing the street.
Accurate coding is critical for trauma registries and public health data.
Used when a patient presents to the emergency department after being struck by a two- or three-wheeled vehicle.
Documentation must support the level of service, including history, examination, and medical decision-making.
Emergency medicine providers should ensure that the mechanism of injury is clearly documented.
Document the specifics of the incident, including the type of vehicle involved, the location of the accident, and any relevant patient history. This information is crucial for accurate coding and analysis.
