Pedestrian on standing electric scooter injured in collision with other nonmotor vehicle in nontraffic accident
ICD-10 V06.031 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of pedestrian on standing electric scooter injured in collision with other nonmotor vehicle in nontraffic accident.
The ICD-10 code V06.031 is used to classify injuries sustained by pedestrians riding standing electric scooters when they collide with other nonmotor vehicles in nontraffic situations. This code is particularly relevant in urban settings where electric scooters are increasingly popular for short-distance travel. Nontraffic accidents may occur in various environments, such as parking lots, sidewalks, or private property, where the pedestrian is not on a roadway. Injuries can range from minor bruises to severe trauma, depending on the nature of the collision and the speed of the scooter. Accurate coding of such incidents is crucial for public health data collection, injury prevention strategies, and resource allocation for emergency services. It also aids in understanding the epidemiology of injuries related to electric scooters, which is essential for developing safety regulations and public awareness campaigns.
Emergency departments must document the mechanism of injury, location of the incident, and any contributing factors such as weather conditions or visibility.
Patients presenting with injuries from electric scooter accidents, including fractures, lacerations, or concussions.
Emergency physicians should ensure that the patient's account of the incident is clear and detailed to support accurate coding.
Trauma surgeons need to document the extent of injuries, surgical interventions performed, and the mechanism of injury in detail.
Trauma cases involving severe injuries from electric scooter collisions, requiring surgical intervention.
Trauma documentation should include specifics about the collision and any pre-existing conditions that may affect recovery.
Used when a patient presents to the emergency department with injuries from an electric scooter accident.
Documentation must include the patient's history, examination findings, and any treatments provided.
Emergency medicine specialists should ensure that the visit level reflects the complexity of the case.
You should document the specifics of the accident, including the type of nonmotor vehicle involved, the location of the incident, and any contributing factors such as weather or visibility conditions.
