Pedestrian on standing micro-mobility pedestrian conveyance injured in collision with railway train or railway vehicle, unspecified whether traffic or nontraffic accident
ICD-10 V05.93 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, unspecified whether traffic or nontraffic accident.
This code is used to classify injuries sustained by pedestrians using standing micro-mobility conveyances, such as e-scooters or standing bicycles, when involved in a collision with a railway train or vehicle. The code does not specify whether the incident occurred in a traffic or non-traffic context, which can complicate the coding process. Clinical scenarios may include a pedestrian on a micro-mobility device being struck by a train at a crossing or in a station. Accurate documentation is crucial to capture the circumstances of the incident, including the location, time, and nature of the conveyance involved. This code is particularly relevant in urban settings where micro-mobility options are prevalent and may intersect with railway infrastructure, leading to unique injury patterns that require careful coding to ensure proper tracking of external causes of morbidity and mortality.
Emergency departments must document the mechanism of injury, type of conveyance, and circumstances surrounding the collision.
Patients presenting with trauma after being struck by a train while using a standing micro-mobility device.
Consider the need for additional codes to capture specific injuries sustained during the incident.
Trauma documentation should include detailed descriptions of injuries, surgical interventions, and the context of the accident.
Trauma cases involving severe injuries from train collisions with micro-mobility users.
Ensure that all injuries are accurately coded and that the external cause code reflects the incident accurately.
Used when a patient presents with severe injuries from a train collision.
Document the severity of injuries and the need for emergency intervention.
Emergency medicine specialists should ensure that all relevant details of the incident are captured.
Document the type of micro-mobility device, the circumstances of the collision, and any injuries sustained. Include details about the location and whether the incident was traffic-related.
