Unspecified rider of other motorcycle injured in collision with railway train or railway vehicle in nontraffic accident
ICD-10 V25.29 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of unspecified rider of other motorcycle injured in collision with railway train or railway vehicle in nontraffic accident.
The ICD-10 code V25.29 is used to classify injuries sustained by an unspecified rider of a motorcycle involved in a collision with a railway train or railway vehicle during a nontraffic accident. This code is particularly relevant in scenarios where the motorcycle rider is not involved in typical road traffic but rather in an incident involving a railway system, such as crossing tracks or being struck while stationary. The injuries can range from minor to severe, including fractures, lacerations, or traumatic brain injuries, depending on the nature of the collision. Accurate coding is essential for proper treatment documentation, insurance claims, and public health data collection, as it helps identify patterns in injuries related to motorcycle and railway interactions, which can inform safety measures and policy changes.
Emergency department notes should clearly outline the mechanism of injury, including details of the collision and any immediate interventions.
Patients presenting with trauma after being struck by a train while riding a motorcycle near railway tracks.
Ensure that the mechanism of injury is well-documented to support the use of V25.29, especially in cases where multiple injuries are present.
Trauma registries require detailed descriptions of the injury mechanism, including the type of motorcycle and specifics of the collision.
Trauma cases involving severe injuries from motorcycle collisions with trains, requiring surgical intervention.
Accurate coding is crucial for trauma outcomes analysis and may influence future safety recommendations.
Used when a patient presents to the emergency department with severe injuries from a motorcycle-train collision.
Document the patient's condition, treatment provided, and any referrals made.
Emergency medicine specialists should ensure that the visit level reflects the complexity of the case.
Document the specifics of the accident, including the type of motorcycle, the circumstances of the collision with the train, and any injuries sustained. Clear documentation will help avoid confusion with traffic-related codes.
