Pedestrian with other conveyance injured in collision with railway train or railway vehicle in traffic accident
ICD-10 V05.19 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of pedestrian with other conveyance injured in collision with railway train or railway vehicle in traffic accident.
The ICD-10 code V05.19 is used to classify injuries sustained by pedestrians who are using other forms of conveyance, such as bicycles, scooters, or skateboards, when they are involved in a collision with a railway train or railway vehicle during a traffic accident. This code captures the external cause of morbidity and mortality related to such incidents, which can result in severe injuries or fatalities. Accurate coding is essential for tracking injury patterns, understanding public health implications, and facilitating appropriate resource allocation for prevention strategies. The code is particularly relevant in urban settings where pedestrian traffic and railway systems intersect, highlighting the need for safety measures and awareness campaigns to reduce the risk of such accidents.
Emergency department notes must clearly document the mechanism of injury, type of conveyance, and details of the collision.
