Pedestrian on standing micro-mobility pedestrian conveyance injured in collision with heavy transport vehicle or bus, unspecified whether traffic or nontraffic accident
ICD-10 V04.93 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of pedestrian on standing micro-mobility pedestrian conveyance injured in collision with heavy transport vehicle or bus, unspecified whether traffic or nontraffic accident.
V04.93 is used to classify injuries sustained by pedestrians using standing micro-mobility devices, such as e-scooters or standing bicycles, when involved in a collision with heavy transport vehicles or buses. This code is particularly relevant in urban settings where micro-mobility options are increasingly popular. The injuries can range from minor abrasions to severe trauma, depending on the speed and weight of the vehicle involved. Accurate coding is essential for tracking injury patterns, understanding public health implications, and ensuring appropriate resource allocation for injury prevention programs. Documentation should specify the type of conveyance, the nature of the collision, and any relevant circumstances surrounding the incident, such as whether it occurred in a traffic or non-traffic context. This code helps in analyzing trends in pedestrian safety and the impact of micro-mobility on urban transportation dynamics.
Emergency departments must document the mechanism of injury, type of vehicle involved, and patient presentation details.
Patients presenting with fractures, lacerations, or concussions after being struck by a bus or heavy vehicle while using a micro-mobility device.
Consider the potential for multiple injuries and the need for comprehensive assessment and documentation.
Trauma surgeons should document the injury patterns, surgical interventions, and any complications arising from the incident.
Severe trauma cases requiring surgical intervention, such as pelvic fractures or head injuries.
Accurate coding is crucial for trauma registries and for understanding the impact of micro-mobility on injury patterns.
Used for patients presenting with injuries from a collision.
Document the nature of the injury and the circumstances of the collision.
Emergency medicine specialists should ensure thorough documentation to support the visit level.
Documentation should include the type of micro-mobility device, details of the collision, whether it was a traffic or non-traffic incident, and the nature of the injuries sustained.
