Unspecified motorcycle rider injured in collision with fixed or stationary object in nontraffic accident
ICD-10 V27.2 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of unspecified motorcycle rider injured in collision with fixed or stationary object in nontraffic accident.
The ICD-10 code V27.2 is used to classify injuries sustained by motorcycle riders who collide with fixed or stationary objects in nontraffic accidents. This code is particularly relevant in scenarios where the specifics of the accident are not fully documented or when the rider's injuries are not associated with a vehicular traffic incident. Common clinical contexts include accidents occurring in private property settings, such as driveways or parking lots, where the motorcycle rider may hit a wall, tree, or other stationary object. Accurate coding is essential for tracking injury patterns, understanding the epidemiology of motorcycle-related injuries, and ensuring appropriate resource allocation for trauma care. Documentation should include details about the nature of the collision, the rider's condition, and any immediate interventions provided.
Emergency departments must document the mechanism of injury, location of the accident, and any immediate treatment provided.
Patients presenting with fractures, lacerations, or concussions after colliding with stationary objects.
Ensure that the narrative clearly distinguishes between traffic and nontraffic incidents to avoid coding errors.
Detailed trauma assessments, including injury severity scores and descriptions of the collision.
Surgical interventions for severe injuries resulting from motorcycle collisions with fixed objects.
Accurate coding is critical for trauma registries and research purposes.
Used when a motorcycle rider presents to the emergency department after a collision.
Document the reason for the visit, examination findings, and treatment provided.
Emergency medicine providers should ensure that the visit is appropriately coded based on the complexity of care.
Document the specifics of the accident, including the type of fixed object involved, the circumstances leading to the collision, and the nature of the injuries sustained.
