Pedestrian on standing micro-mobility pedestrian conveyance injured in collision with two- or three-wheeled motor vehicle, unspecified whether traffic or nontraffic accident
ICD-10 V02.93 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of pedestrian on standing micro-mobility pedestrian conveyance injured in collision with two- or three-wheeled motor vehicle, unspecified whether traffic or nontraffic accident.
V02.93 is used to classify injuries sustained by pedestrians using standing micro-mobility devices, such as electric scooters or standing bicycles, when involved in a collision with two- or three-wheeled motor vehicles. This code is particularly relevant in urban settings where the use of micro-mobility devices is increasing. The code does not specify whether the incident occurred in a traffic or non-traffic context, which can complicate the coding process. Accurate documentation of the circumstances surrounding the incident is crucial for proper coding. This code is essential for tracking injuries related to the growing trend of micro-mobility, which has implications for public health and safety initiatives. It helps in understanding the patterns of injuries and can inform policy decisions regarding infrastructure and safety regulations for both pedestrians and motor vehicle operators.
Emergency departments must document the mechanism of injury, the type of micro-mobility device involved, and the circumstances of the collision.
Patients presenting with injuries from collisions while using electric scooters or standing bicycles.
Consideration of potential head injuries or fractures, and the need for thorough assessment of all injuries.
Trauma documentation should include detailed descriptions of the injuries sustained, the mechanism of injury, and any pre-existing conditions that may affect treatment.
Trauma cases involving significant injuries from collisions with motor vehicles.
Trauma surgeons should be aware of the potential for multiple injuries and the need for comprehensive surgical intervention.
Used when a patient presents with significant injuries from a collision.
Document the nature of the injuries and the mechanism of injury.
Emergency medicine specialists should ensure thorough documentation to support the level of service.
V02.93 covers injuries sustained by pedestrians on standing micro-mobility devices involved in collisions with two- or three-wheeled motor vehicles, including a range of injuries from minor to severe.
If the incident occurred on a public roadway or involved a vehicle in motion, it is likely a traffic incident. If it occurred in a private area or involved stationary vehicles, it may be classified as non-traffic.
