Electric (assisted) bicycle driver injured in collision with railway train or railway vehicle in nontraffic accident
ICD-10 V25.01 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of electric (assisted) bicycle driver injured in collision with railway train or railway vehicle in nontraffic accident.
This code is used to classify injuries sustained by a driver of an electric (assisted) bicycle involved in a collision with a railway train or railway vehicle during a nontraffic accident. Nontraffic accidents refer to incidents that occur outside of the typical roadway environment, such as private property or designated bike paths. The injuries can range from minor to severe, depending on the speed of the train and the circumstances of the collision. Accurate coding is essential for tracking injury patterns, understanding the epidemiology of such accidents, and facilitating appropriate public health responses. Documentation should include details about the accident's location, the nature of the injuries sustained, and any contributing factors such as visibility or environmental conditions.
Emergency department notes should clearly document the mechanism of injury, patient presentation, and any immediate interventions performed.
Patients presenting with fractures, lacerations, or concussions following a collision with a train.
Ensure that the external cause code is linked to the primary diagnosis for accurate billing and data collection.
Detailed operative reports and trauma assessments should include the mechanism of injury and any surgical interventions performed.
Trauma cases involving significant injuries requiring surgical intervention, such as orthopedic repairs or internal organ management.
Accurate coding is crucial for trauma registries and quality improvement initiatives.
Used when a patient presents with injuries from a collision.
Document the nature of the injuries and the mechanism of the accident.
Emergency medicine providers should ensure accurate coding for reimbursement.
V25.01 is used for nontraffic accidents involving electric bicycles, while V25.02 is for traffic-related incidents. Accurate documentation is essential to determine which code to use.
