Pedal cycle driver injured in collision with two- or three-wheeled motor vehicle in nontraffic accident
ICD-10 V12.0 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of pedal cycle driver injured in collision with two- or three-wheeled motor vehicle in nontraffic accident.
This code is used to classify injuries sustained by a pedal cycle driver involved in a collision with a two- or three-wheeled motor vehicle, specifically in a nontraffic accident context. Nontraffic accidents may occur in various settings, such as private property or during recreational activities. The injuries can range from minor abrasions to severe trauma, including fractures or head injuries. Accurate coding is crucial for understanding the epidemiology of such incidents, guiding public health interventions, and ensuring appropriate resource allocation for injury prevention programs. Documentation should include details about the circumstances of the accident, the type of vehicle involved, and the nature of the injuries sustained to support the use of this code.
Emergency department notes should clearly outline the mechanism of injury, type of vehicle involved, and any immediate interventions performed.
A cyclist colliding with a motorcycle while riding on a private road or in a parking lot.
Ensure that the documentation reflects the nontraffic nature of the accident to avoid misclassification.
Trauma assessments must detail the injuries sustained, the mechanism of injury, and any surgical interventions required.
A cyclist requiring surgery after being struck by a scooter in a residential area.
Accurate coding is essential for trauma registries and injury prevention research.
Used when a cyclist presents to the emergency department with significant injuries from a collision.
Detailed documentation of the patient's condition, treatment provided, and any referrals made.
Emergency medicine specialists should ensure that the mechanism of injury is clearly documented.
V12.0 is used for pedal cycle drivers injured in collisions with two- or three-wheeled motor vehicles in nontraffic accidents, while V12.1 is for collisions with other pedal cycles.
