Unspecified motorcycle rider injured in collision with other nonmotor vehicle in nontraffic accident
ICD-10 V26.2 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of unspecified motorcycle rider injured in collision with other nonmotor vehicle in nontraffic accident.
The ICD-10 code V26.2 is used to classify injuries sustained by motorcycle riders involved in collisions with nonmotor vehicles during nontraffic accidents. This code is particularly relevant in scenarios where the motorcycle rider is injured in settings outside of public roadways, such as private property or off-road environments. Common examples include collisions with bicycles, pedestrians, or stationary objects. Accurate coding is essential for understanding the epidemiology of motorcycle-related injuries, which can inform public health initiatives and safety regulations. Documentation should specify the nature of the collision, the type of nonmotor vehicle involved, and the circumstances surrounding the accident to ensure proper coding and facilitate appropriate care and follow-up.
Emergency departments must document the mechanism of injury, including the type of nonmotor vehicle involved and the circumstances of the accident.
Patients presenting with injuries from collisions with bicycles or pedestrians in nontraffic settings.
Emergency physicians should ensure that all relevant details are captured in the medical record to support accurate coding.
Trauma surgeons need to document the specifics of the injury, including the impact force and the type of nonmotor vehicle involved.
Trauma cases involving motorcycle riders injured in collisions with stationary objects or during recreational activities.
Trauma documentation should include a thorough description of the accident to facilitate accurate coding and analysis.
