Other motorcycle passenger injured in collision with railway train or railway vehicle in nontraffic accident
ICD-10 V25.19 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of other motorcycle passenger injured in collision with railway train or railway vehicle in nontraffic accident.
The V25.19 code is utilized to classify injuries sustained by motorcycle passengers 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 is not operating on a public roadway, such as in private property incidents or railway yards. Clinical documentation should detail the circumstances of the accident, including the location, the nature of the collision, and the specific injuries sustained. Accurate coding is essential for tracking morbidity and mortality associated with such incidents, which can inform public health initiatives and safety regulations. This code helps in understanding the epidemiology of motorcycle-related injuries in nontraffic contexts, allowing for targeted interventions and resource allocation.
Emergency departments must document the mechanism of injury, location of the accident, and any pre-existing conditions that may affect treatment.
Patients presenting with fractures, lacerations, or concussions following a motorcycle collision with a train.
Emergency physicians should ensure that all relevant details are captured in the medical record to support accurate coding.
Trauma surgeons need comprehensive documentation of the patient's injuries, surgical interventions, and the circumstances of the accident.
Trauma cases involving significant injuries such as spinal fractures or traumatic brain injuries from motorcycle accidents.
Trauma documentation should include detailed descriptions of the mechanism of injury and any complications arising from the accident.
Used for patients presenting with significant injuries from a motorcycle accident.
Documentation must support the level of service, including history, examination, and medical decision-making.
Emergency medicine specialists should ensure that the visit is well-documented to justify the CPT code.
Use V25.19 when documenting injuries sustained by a motorcycle passenger involved in a collision with a railway train or vehicle in a nontraffic context. Ensure that the circumstances of the accident are clearly documented.
