Electric (assisted) bicycle driver injured in collision with car, pick-up truck or van in nontraffic accident
ICD-10 V23.01 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of electric (assisted) bicycle driver injured in collision with car, pick-up truck or van in nontraffic accident.
The V23.01 code is used to classify injuries sustained by drivers of electric (assisted) bicycles involved in collisions with motor vehicles such as cars, pick-up trucks, or vans, specifically in nontraffic accidents. Nontraffic accidents refer to incidents that occur outside of public roadways, such as in parking lots or private property. This code is essential for capturing the external cause of morbidity and mortality related to such incidents, which can include a range of injuries from minor abrasions to severe trauma. Accurate coding is crucial for public health data collection, injury prevention strategies, and resource allocation in emergency and trauma care settings. It is important for healthcare providers to document the circumstances of the accident thoroughly to ensure proper coding and to facilitate appropriate treatment and follow-up care.
Emergency department notes should clearly describe the mechanism of injury, including details about the collision and the patient's condition upon arrival.
Patients presenting with fractures, lacerations, or concussions following a collision with a vehicle in a nontraffic setting.
Ensure that the documentation specifies the type of bicycle and the circumstances of the accident to support accurate coding.
Trauma assessments must include a detailed account of the injury mechanism, including the type of vehicle involved and the impact sustained.
Trauma cases involving significant injuries such as pelvic fractures or head trauma from collisions.
Consider the potential for multiple injuries and the need for comprehensive coding to reflect all injuries sustained.
Used for patients presenting with injuries from nontraffic accidents involving electric bicycles.
Document the nature of the injury, treatment provided, and any follow-up care needed.
Emergency medicine providers should ensure that the mechanism of injury is clearly documented.
Documenting the type of vehicle is crucial for accurate coding and understanding the nature of the collision, which can impact treatment decisions and public health data.
