Other motorcycle driver injured in collision with railway train or railway vehicle in nontraffic accident
ICD-10 V25.09 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of other motorcycle driver injured in collision with railway train or railway vehicle in nontraffic accident.
The V25.09 code is utilized to classify injuries sustained by motorcycle drivers involved in collisions with railway trains or railway vehicles that occur outside of traditional traffic scenarios. This code is particularly relevant in cases where the motorcycle driver is injured due to an accident involving a train or railway vehicle, but not on a public roadway. Such incidents may occur in areas like railway crossings, private property, or during maintenance activities. Accurate coding is essential for tracking the incidence of these injuries, understanding their causes, and implementing preventive measures. Documentation should clearly indicate the circumstances of the accident, including the location and nature of the collision, to support the use of this specific external cause code.
Emergency department notes must detail the mechanism of injury, location, and any contributing factors.
Patients presenting with trauma from motorcycle collisions with trains, particularly in nontraffic settings.
Ensure that the documentation specifies the nontraffic nature of the accident to support the use of V25.09.
Trauma registries should include detailed descriptions of the injury mechanism and patient demographics.
Trauma cases involving motorcycle drivers with severe injuries from collisions with railway vehicles.
Accurate coding is critical for trauma statistics and research; ensure all details of the incident are captured.
Used when a motorcycle driver presents to the emergency department after a collision with a train.
Document the nature of the injury and the circumstances of the accident.
Emergency medicine providers should ensure that the external cause code is linked to the visit.
Accurate coding of V25.09 is crucial for understanding the epidemiology of motorcycle injuries in nontraffic settings, which can inform public health initiatives and safety regulations.
