Electric (assisted) bicycle passenger injured in collision with car, pick-up truck or van in nontraffic accident
ICD-10 V23.11 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of electric (assisted) bicycle passenger injured in collision with car, pick-up truck or van in nontraffic accident.
The code V23.11 is used to classify injuries sustained by a passenger on an electric (assisted) bicycle involved in a collision with a motor vehicle, specifically a car, pick-up truck, or van, occurring in a nontraffic accident. Nontraffic accidents refer to incidents that do not occur on public roadways, such as private property or parking lots. This code is crucial for capturing the external cause of morbidity and mortality related to electric bicycle usage, which has been increasing in popularity. Accurate coding of such incidents helps in understanding the epidemiology of injuries associated with electric bicycles, guiding public health initiatives, and informing safety regulations. Documentation should include details about the circumstances of the accident, the type of vehicle involved, and the specific injuries sustained by the passenger to ensure proper coding and analysis of the data.
Emergency departments must document the mechanism of injury, type of vehicle involved, and specific injuries sustained. Clear notes on the patient's condition upon arrival and any immediate interventions are essential.
Patients presenting with fractures, lacerations, or concussions after being a passenger on an electric bicycle involved in a collision.
Emergency physicians should ensure that the distinction between traffic and nontraffic accidents is clearly noted to avoid coding errors.
Trauma surgeons need detailed accounts of the injury mechanism, including the speed of the vehicle and the impact force. Documentation should also include any surgical interventions performed.
Trauma cases involving significant injuries such as pelvic fractures or head trauma from electric bicycle accidents.
Trauma documentation must be thorough to support the coding of external causes and to justify the level of care provided.
Used when a patient presents to the emergency department with injuries from an electric bicycle accident.
Documentation must include the patient's presenting complaints, examination findings, and treatment provided.
Emergency medicine specialists should ensure that the mechanism of injury is clearly documented.
Documentation should include the details of the accident, the type of vehicle involved, the location of the incident, and the specific injuries sustained by the passenger. Clear notes on the mechanism of injury are essential for accurate coding.
