Pedal cycle driver injured in collision with other pedal cycle in nontraffic accident
ICD-10 V11.0 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of pedal cycle driver injured in collision with other pedal cycle in nontraffic accident.
The ICD-10 code V11.0 is used to classify injuries sustained by a pedal cycle driver involved in a collision with another pedal cycle in a nontraffic accident. This scenario typically occurs in environments such as parks, bike paths, or residential areas where cyclists may collide without being on a public roadway. The injuries can range from minor abrasions and contusions to more severe injuries such as fractures or concussions, depending on the nature of the collision. Accurate coding of this incident is crucial for understanding the epidemiology of cycling injuries, guiding public health interventions, and informing safety measures for cyclists. Documentation should include details about the circumstances of the accident, the type of injuries sustained, and any relevant environmental factors that may have contributed to the incident.
Emergency departments must document the mechanism of injury, including details of the collision and any immediate treatment provided.
Patients presenting with lacerations, fractures, or head injuries following a collision with another cyclist.
Consideration of potential underlying conditions that may affect recovery, such as age or pre-existing injuries.
Trauma documentation should include a detailed account of the injury mechanism, injury severity, and any surgical interventions performed.
Trauma cases involving significant injuries requiring surgical intervention, such as fractures or internal injuries.
Accurate coding is essential for trauma registries and for tracking injury patterns in the population.
Used when a patient presents with injuries from a pedal cycle collision.
Document the nature of the visit, including the mechanism of injury and treatment provided.
Emergency medicine specialists should ensure that the visit level reflects the complexity of the case.
Document the specifics of the collision, including the environment, the nature of the injuries sustained, and any relevant patient history that may impact treatment.
