Unspecified electric (assisted) bicycle rider injured in collision with two- or three-wheeled motor vehicle in nontraffic accident
ICD-10 V22.21 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of unspecified electric (assisted) bicycle rider injured in collision with two- or three-wheeled motor vehicle in nontraffic accident.
This code is used to classify injuries sustained by riders of electric (assisted) bicycles when involved in collisions with two- or three-wheeled motor vehicles in nontraffic settings, such as private property or parking lots. The term 'unspecified' indicates that the specific nature of the injury is not detailed in the documentation. Common scenarios include accidents occurring in residential areas, driveways, or during recreational activities. Accurate coding is essential for tracking injury patterns, understanding the epidemiology of electric bicycle accidents, and informing public health initiatives aimed at improving safety measures for cyclists. This code helps in identifying the need for targeted interventions and policy changes to enhance rider safety and reduce injury rates.
Emergency departments must document the mechanism of injury, location of the accident, and any relevant patient history.
Patients presenting with injuries from collisions in parking lots or private properties.
Ensure that the documentation clearly states the type of vehicle involved and the context of the accident.
Trauma documentation should include detailed descriptions of injuries, mechanism of injury, and any surgical interventions performed.
Trauma cases involving fractures or soft tissue injuries from collisions.
Accurate coding is crucial for trauma registries and quality improvement initiatives.
Used when a patient presents to the emergency department with injuries from a nontraffic accident involving an electric bicycle.
Document the nature of the injury, mechanism of injury, and any treatments provided.
Emergency medicine providers should ensure that the visit is coded accurately based on the complexity of the case.
Documentation should include the specifics of the accident, the type of vehicle involved, the location of the incident, and details about the injuries sustained.
