Pedestrian with other conveyance injured in collision with other nonmotor vehicle in traffic accident
ICD-10 V06.19 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of pedestrian with other conveyance injured in collision with other nonmotor vehicle in traffic accident.
The ICD-10 code V06.19 is used to classify injuries sustained by pedestrians who are using other conveyances, such as bicycles, skateboards, or scooters, when they are involved in a collision with nonmotor vehicles (e.g., bicycles, pedestrians, or animals) in a traffic accident. This code is essential for capturing the nuances of pedestrian injuries that occur in traffic settings, particularly when the pedestrian is not solely reliant on foot travel. Accurate coding of this scenario is crucial for public health data, as it helps identify trends in pedestrian safety and the effectiveness of traffic regulations. Clinicians must document the specifics of the incident, including the type of conveyance used and the nature of the collision, to ensure appropriate coding and analysis of injury patterns.
Emergency departments must document the mechanism of injury, type of conveyance, and any contributing factors such as weather or visibility.
Patients presenting with injuries from bicycle accidents involving collisions with pedestrians or other nonmotor vehicles.
Consideration of the patient's history and the circumstances surrounding the accident is crucial for accurate coding.
Trauma documentation must include detailed descriptions of the injuries sustained, the mechanism of injury, and the type of conveyance involved.
Trauma cases involving severe injuries from collisions while riding bicycles or scooters.
Trauma surgeons should ensure that all relevant details are captured to support the use of this code.
Used for patients presenting with injuries from a collision involving other conveyances.
Documentation must support the level of service, including history, examination, and medical decision-making.
Emergency medicine providers should ensure that the mechanism of injury is clearly documented.
This code includes injuries sustained by pedestrians using bicycles, skateboards, scooters, and other nonmotorized conveyances.
Document the type of conveyance used by the pedestrian, the nature of the collision, and any contributing factors such as location and visibility.
