Unspecified pedal cyclist injured in collision with two- or three-wheeled motor vehicle in nontraffic accident
ICD-10 V12.2 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of unspecified pedal cyclist injured in collision with two- or three-wheeled motor vehicle in nontraffic accident.
This code is used to classify injuries sustained by pedal cyclists involved in collisions with two- or three-wheeled motor vehicles that occur outside of traditional traffic scenarios. Such incidents may take place in private property, parking lots, or other non-public roadways. The injuries can range from minor abrasions to severe trauma, including fractures or head injuries. Accurate coding is essential for tracking injury patterns, understanding public health implications, and facilitating appropriate treatment. Documentation should include details about the circumstances of the accident, the type of vehicle involved, and the nature of the injuries sustained. This code is particularly relevant in urban areas where cycling is common and where interactions with motor vehicles can lead to significant injuries, even in non-traffic settings.
Emergency departments must document the mechanism of injury, including the location and circumstances of the accident, as well as the type of vehicle involved.
Pedal cyclists presenting with injuries after being struck by a motorcycle or scooter in a parking lot.
