Pedestrian on roller-skates injured in collision with other nonmotor vehicle in nontraffic accident
ICD-10 V06.01 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of pedestrian on roller-skates injured in collision with other nonmotor vehicle in nontraffic accident.
The ICD-10 code V06.01 is used to classify injuries sustained by a pedestrian on roller-skates who is involved in a collision with another nonmotor vehicle, such as a bicycle or a skateboard, in a nontraffic accident setting. This code is particularly relevant in urban environments where roller-skating is common, and accidents can occur in parks, sidewalks, or other public spaces. The injuries may range from minor abrasions to severe trauma, depending on the circumstances of the collision. Accurate coding of this incident is crucial for understanding the epidemiology of roller-skating injuries and for implementing public health strategies aimed at reducing such accidents. Documentation should include details about the nature of the collision, the type of nonmotor vehicle involved, and the specific injuries sustained to ensure proper coding and analysis of injury patterns.
Emergency departments must document the mechanism of injury, including the type of nonmotor vehicle involved and the circumstances of the accident.
Patients presenting with fractures, lacerations, or contusions after a roller-skating accident.
Ensure that the external cause code is linked to the primary diagnosis for accurate billing and data collection.
Trauma documentation should include detailed descriptions of the injuries and the context of the collision.
Trauma cases involving significant injuries from roller-skating accidents requiring surgical intervention.
Consider the mechanism of injury when coding, as it may affect treatment decisions and outcomes.
Used for patients presenting with injuries from roller-skating accidents.
Document the nature of the injury and the external cause code.
Emergency medicine providers should ensure accurate linkage between the visit and the external cause.
Documentation should include the details of the collision, the type of nonmotor vehicle involved, the specific injuries sustained, and the context of the accident to ensure accurate coding.
