Billable

Motorcycle driver injured in noncollision transport accident in nontraffic accident

BILLABLE STATUSYes
IMPLEMENTATION DATEOctober 1, 2015

Code Description

ICD-10 V28.0 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of motorcycle driver injured in noncollision transport accident in nontraffic accident.

Key Diagnostic Point:

The ICD-10 code V28.0 is used to classify injuries sustained by motorcycle drivers involved in noncollision transport accidents that occur outside of traffic scenarios. This includes incidents such as a motorcycle falling over while parked, accidents occurring on private property, or mishaps during recreational use where no other vehicle is involved. Accurate coding of this scenario is crucial for understanding the epidemiology of motorcycle-related injuries and for implementing public health strategies aimed at reducing such incidents. Documentation should clearly indicate the circumstances of the accident, including the environment and any contributing factors, to ensure appropriate coding and analysis of injury patterns.

Code Complexity Analysis

Complexity Rating: Medium

Medium Complexity

Complexity Factors

  • Determining the specific nature of the accident (noncollision vs. collision)
  • Differentiating between traffic and nontraffic incidents
  • Accurate documentation of the accident's context
  • Potential overlap with other external cause codes

Audit Risk Factors

  • Inadequate documentation of the accident's context
  • Misclassification of traffic vs. nontraffic incidents
  • Failure to specify the type of motorcycle involved
  • Inconsistent coding practices across different providers

Specialty Focus

Medical Specialties

Emergency Medicine

Documentation Requirements

Emergency department notes must detail the mechanism of injury, including the environment and any contributing factors.

Common Clinical Scenarios

Patients presenting with injuries from falls or accidents while riding motorcycles in nontraffic situations.

Billing Considerations

Ensure that the documentation explicitly states that the incident was a noncollision transport accident.

Trauma Surgery

Documentation Requirements

Trauma documentation should include a thorough account of the injury mechanism and any associated injuries.

Common Clinical Scenarios

Trauma cases involving motorcycle drivers who have sustained injuries from falls or accidents not involving other vehicles.

Billing Considerations

Consider the potential for multiple injuries and ensure all are documented and coded appropriately.

Coding Guidelines

Inclusion Criteria

Use V28.0 When
  • Follow the ICD
  • CM coding guidelines, ensuring that the external cause code is used in conjunction with the appropriate injury codes
  • The code should be reported only when the injury is specifically due to a noncollision transport accident

Exclusion Criteria

Do NOT use V28.0 When
No specific exclusions found.

Enhanced Specificity

ICD-10 Improvements

The transition to ICD-10 has allowed for more specific coding of external causes of injuries, including noncollision motorcycle accidents, which aids in better tracking and analysis of injury patterns.

ICD-9 vs ICD-10

The transition to ICD-10 has allowed for more specific coding of external causes of injuries, including noncollision motorcycle accidents, which aids in better tracking and analysis of injury patterns.

Reimbursement & Billing Impact

The transition to ICD-10 has allowed for more specific coding of external causes of injuries, including noncollision motorcycle accidents, which aids in better tracking and analysis of injury patterns.
