Pedestrian on other standing micro-mobility pedestrian conveyance injured in collision with railway train or railway vehicle in nontraffic accident
ICD-10 V05.038 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of pedestrian on other standing micro-mobility pedestrian conveyance injured in collision with railway train or railway vehicle in nontraffic accident.
This code is used to classify injuries sustained by pedestrians using micro-mobility devices, such as scooters or e-bikes, that are stationary at the time of a collision with a railway train or vehicle. The term 'nontraffic accident' indicates that the incident did not occur on a public roadway but rather in a location such as a train station or private property. This code is crucial for understanding the epidemiology of injuries related to micro-mobility devices and railway interactions, which are increasingly relevant as urban transportation evolves. Accurate coding is essential for public health data collection, resource allocation, and injury prevention strategies.
Detailed accounts of the incident, including the type of conveyance and the circumstances of the collision.
Patients presenting with injuries from collisions while using micro-mobility devices, particularly in nontraffic settings.
Emergency departments should ensure that all relevant details are captured in the patient's record to support accurate coding.
Comprehensive trauma assessments that include mechanism of injury and specific details about the collision.
Trauma cases involving significant injuries from railway collisions while using micro-mobility devices.
Trauma surgeons must document the mechanism of injury thoroughly to support the use of this specific external cause code.
Used for patients presenting with significant injuries from a railway collision.
Detailed documentation of the patient's condition and the mechanism of injury.
Emergency medicine specialists should ensure thorough documentation to support the level of service billed.
Using V05.038 allows healthcare providers and public health officials to accurately track and analyze injuries related to micro-mobility devices in nontraffic settings, which is essential for developing effective safety measures and policies.
