Electric (assisted) bicycle driver injured in collision with two- or three-wheeled motor vehicle in traffic accident
ICD-10 V22.41 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of electric (assisted) bicycle driver injured in collision with two- or three-wheeled motor vehicle in traffic accident.
The ICD-10 code V22.41 is designated for injuries sustained by drivers of electric (assisted) bicycles involved in collisions with two- or three-wheeled motor vehicles during traffic accidents. This code is essential for capturing the external cause of morbidity and mortality related to traffic incidents involving electric bicycles, which have gained popularity as a mode of transportation. The clinical context includes a variety of potential injuries, ranging from minor abrasions to severe trauma, depending on the speed and nature of the collision. Accurate coding is crucial for public health data collection, insurance reimbursement, and understanding the epidemiology of traffic-related injuries. Documentation should include details about the circumstances of the accident, the type of vehicles involved, and the specific injuries sustained to ensure proper coding and analysis of trends in electric bicycle-related accidents.
Emergency department notes should include a detailed account of the accident, including time, location, and mechanism of injury.
Patients presenting with trauma after being struck by a motor vehicle while riding an electric bicycle.
Consideration of potential head injuries and the need for imaging studies.
Trauma registries should capture the mechanism of injury and the specifics of the collision for accurate coding.
Trauma cases involving multiple injuries from a collision with a motor vehicle.
Documentation should reflect the comprehensive assessment of injuries and any surgical interventions performed.
Used for patients presenting with significant injuries from traffic accidents.
Documentation must support the level of service provided, including history, examination, and medical decision-making.
Emergency medicine specialists should ensure that all relevant details of the accident are captured.
Documentation should include details of the accident, such as the type of vehicles involved, the circumstances leading to the collision, and the specific injuries sustained by the electric bicycle driver.
