Motorcycle passenger injured in collision with heavy transport vehicle or bus in nontraffic accident
ICD-10 V24.1 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of motorcycle passenger injured in collision with heavy transport vehicle or bus in nontraffic accident.
This code is used to classify injuries sustained by a motorcycle passenger involved in a collision with a heavy transport vehicle or bus that occurs outside of typical traffic scenarios. Nontraffic accidents may include incidents occurring in parking lots, private property, or during off-road activities. The injuries can range from minor abrasions to severe trauma, including fractures, head injuries, and internal injuries, depending on the nature of the collision and the protective measures taken by the passenger. Accurate coding is essential for tracking morbidity and mortality associated with such incidents, which can inform public health initiatives and safety regulations.
Detailed documentation of the mechanism of injury, location of the accident, and patient presentation is crucial.
Patients presenting with trauma after a motorcycle accident involving a bus or heavy vehicle, often requiring immediate intervention.
Consideration of potential multiple injuries and the need for comprehensive assessment and documentation.
Thorough documentation of injury types, surgical interventions, and post-operative care is necessary.
Trauma cases involving motorcycle passengers with significant injuries requiring surgical intervention.
Attention to detail in documenting the mechanism of injury and the specifics of the collision to support accurate coding.
Used for patients presenting with injuries from a motorcycle accident.
