Pedestrian on standing electric scooter injured in collision with other nonmotor vehicle, unspecified whether traffic or nontraffic accident
ICD-10 V06.931 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of pedestrian on standing electric scooter injured in collision with other nonmotor vehicle, unspecified whether traffic or nontraffic accident.
This code is used to classify injuries sustained by pedestrians riding standing electric scooters when they collide with other nonmotor vehicles, such as bicycles, skateboards, or pedestrians. The code does not specify whether the incident occurred in a traffic or nontraffic context, making it applicable in various scenarios. As electric scooters become increasingly popular in urban areas, understanding the external causes of injuries related to their use is crucial for public health monitoring and injury prevention strategies. Accurate coding of such incidents helps in analyzing trends in scooter-related injuries, which can inform policy decisions and safety regulations. Documentation should include details about the circumstances of the accident, the type of nonmotor vehicle involved, and the location of the incident to ensure proper coding and analysis.
Emergency departments must document the mechanism of injury, the type of scooter, and the circumstances of the collision.
Patients presenting with fractures, lacerations, or contusions after a scooter accident.
