Electric (assisted) bicycle driver injured in collision with fixed or stationary object in nontraffic accident
ICD-10 V27.01 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of electric (assisted) bicycle driver injured in collision with fixed or stationary object in nontraffic accident.
The V27.01 code is used to classify injuries sustained by drivers of electric (assisted) bicycles when they collide with fixed or stationary objects in nontraffic environments. This may include incidents occurring in private properties, parks, or other non-public roadways. Such accidents can result in a variety of injuries, including fractures, contusions, and lacerations, depending on the nature of the collision and the speed of the bicycle. Accurate coding is essential for tracking injury patterns, facilitating public health research, and ensuring appropriate resource allocation for injury prevention programs. Documentation should include details about the circumstances of the accident, the type of object involved, and the specific injuries sustained to ensure proper coding and billing.
Emergency departments must document the mechanism of injury, including the type of bicycle and object involved, as well as the patient's vital signs and initial assessment.
Patients presenting with fractures or soft tissue injuries after colliding with a fence, tree, or other stationary object while riding an electric bicycle.
Consideration should be given to the patient's history of prior injuries and any underlying conditions that may affect recovery.
Trauma documentation must include detailed descriptions of the injuries, surgical interventions, and any complications arising from the accident.
Trauma cases involving significant injuries such as pelvic fractures or head trauma from collisions with stationary objects.
Trauma surgeons should be aware of the potential for multiple injuries and the need for comprehensive imaging studies.
Used when a patient presents with injuries from an electric bicycle accident.
Documentation must include the patient's history, examination findings, and treatment plan.
Emergency medicine specialists should ensure that the visit level reflects the complexity of the case.
Injuries can range from minor abrasions and contusions to more severe injuries such as fractures, concussions, and soft tissue injuries, depending on the speed of the bicycle and the nature of the object struck.
