Pedestrian on standing micro-mobility pedestrian conveyance injured in collision with railway train or railway vehicle in traffic accident
ICD-10 V05.13 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of pedestrian on standing micro-mobility pedestrian conveyance injured in collision with railway train or railway vehicle in traffic accident.
V05.13 is an external cause code that captures incidents where a pedestrian, utilizing a standing micro-mobility conveyance (such as e-scooters or standing electric bikes), is involved in a collision with a railway train or railway vehicle during a traffic accident. This code is crucial for understanding the epidemiology of injuries related to micro-mobility devices, which have gained popularity in urban areas. The code helps in tracking the frequency and circumstances of such accidents, which can inform public health initiatives and safety regulations. Accurate coding is essential for effective data collection and analysis, which can lead to improved safety measures and policies aimed at reducing injuries associated with micro-mobility conveyances. Documentation should include details about the circumstances of the accident, the type of conveyance involved, and the nature of the injuries sustained.
Emergency departments must document the mechanism of injury, type of conveyance, and any contributing factors to the accident.
Patients presenting with injuries from collisions while using e-scooters or similar devices.
Emergency physicians should ensure that the external cause is clearly linked to the primary diagnosis to avoid coding discrepancies.
Trauma documentation must include detailed descriptions of the injury mechanism, patient demographics, and any pre-existing conditions.
Trauma cases involving severe injuries from railway collisions while using micro-mobility devices.
Trauma surgeons should be aware of the specific coding requirements for external causes to ensure accurate billing and data reporting.
Used for patients presenting with severe injuries from a collision.
Documentation must support the severity of the visit and the nature of the injuries.
Emergency medicine specialists should ensure that the visit level reflects the complexity of the case.
Injuries associated with V05.13 can include fractures, contusions, and traumatic brain injuries resulting from collisions with railway vehicles while using standing micro-mobility devices.
