Pedestrian on other standing micro-mobility pedestrian conveyance injured in collision with other nonmotor vehicle in nontraffic accident
ICD-10 V06.038 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of pedestrian on other standing micro-mobility pedestrian conveyance injured in collision with other nonmotor vehicle in nontraffic accident.
This code is used to classify injuries sustained by pedestrians using standing micro-mobility devices, such as e-scooters or standing bicycles, when they collide with nonmotor vehicles (e.g., bicycles, skateboards) in nontraffic settings, such as private property or parks. The increasing popularity of micro-mobility devices has led to a rise in related injuries, necessitating accurate coding for effective public health tracking and resource allocation. Clinicians must document the specifics of the incident, including the type of conveyance involved, the nature of the collision, and the environment where the accident occurred. This information is crucial for understanding the epidemiology of such injuries and for developing preventive measures.
Emergency departments must document the mechanism of injury, type of conveyance, and collision details.
Patients presenting with fractures or soft tissue injuries after a collision with another pedestrian or nonmotor vehicle.
Consider the patient's history and any pre-existing conditions that may affect injury severity.
Trauma surgeons should document the specifics of the injury, including the mechanism and impact of the collision.
Trauma cases involving significant injuries from micro-mobility device collisions.
Accurate coding is essential for trauma registries and public health data.
Used when a patient presents with injuries from a micro-mobility accident.
Document the nature of the injury and the external cause.
Emergency medicine specialists should ensure thorough documentation for accurate billing.
V06.038 covers injuries sustained by pedestrians using standing micro-mobility devices in collisions with nonmotor vehicles in nontraffic settings, including fractures, lacerations, and concussions.
