Pedestrian on standing electric scooter injured in collision with railway train or railway vehicle, unspecified whether traffic or nontraffic accident
ICD-10 V05.931 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of pedestrian on standing electric scooter injured in collision with railway train or railway vehicle, unspecified whether traffic or nontraffic accident.
This code is used to classify injuries sustained by a pedestrian who is on a standing electric scooter and is involved in a collision with a railway train or railway vehicle. The code does not specify whether the incident occurred in a traffic or nontraffic context, which can complicate the coding process. Injuries may range from minor to severe, depending on the speed of the train and the circumstances of the collision. Accurate documentation is crucial to determine the nature of the accident and the extent of injuries. This code is particularly relevant in urban settings where electric scooters are increasingly popular, and interactions with railway systems are more common. It is essential for healthcare providers to document the specifics of the incident, including the location, time, and circumstances surrounding the collision, to ensure proper coding and billing.
