Electric (assisted) bicycle passenger injured in collision with two- or three-wheeled motor vehicle in nontraffic accident
ICD-10 V22.11 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of electric (assisted) bicycle passenger injured in collision with two- or three-wheeled motor vehicle in nontraffic accident.
V22.11 is used to classify injuries sustained by a passenger on an electric (assisted) bicycle involved in a collision with a two- or three-wheeled motor vehicle during a nontraffic accident. Nontraffic accidents refer to incidents that occur outside of public roadways, such as private property or parking lots. This code is essential for capturing the external cause of morbidity and mortality related to such incidents, which can include a variety of injuries ranging from minor abrasions to severe trauma. Accurate coding is crucial for public health data collection, resource allocation, and injury prevention strategies. It is important to document the circumstances of the accident, including the location and nature of the collision, to ensure proper coding and analysis of injury patterns. This code is particularly relevant as the popularity of electric bicycles increases, leading to a rise in associated injuries.
Detailed account of the accident, including location, vehicle types, and passenger status.
Patients presenting with injuries from electric bicycle accidents in parking lots or private properties.
Ensure that the mechanism of injury is clearly documented to support the use of V22.11.
Comprehensive trauma assessment including injury severity and mechanism of injury.
Trauma cases involving significant injuries from collisions with motor vehicles.
Consider the potential for multiple injuries and the need for co-coding with injury codes.
Used for patients presenting with injuries from electric bicycle accidents.
Document the nature of the injuries and the circumstances of the accident.
Emergency medicine specialists should ensure thorough documentation to support the visit level.
V22.11 is for passengers on electric bicycles involved in nontraffic accidents, while V22.12 is for operators involved in traffic accidents.
