Electric (assisted) bicycle driver injured in noncollision transport accident in nontraffic accident
ICD-10 V28.01 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of electric (assisted) bicycle driver injured in noncollision transport accident in nontraffic accident.
The V28.01 code is used to classify injuries sustained by drivers of electric (assisted) bicycles during noncollision transport accidents that occur outside of traffic scenarios. This includes incidents such as falls, loss of control, or mechanical failures while riding on private property or in non-public areas. The code captures the external cause of morbidity and mortality associated with these specific types of accidents, which are increasingly relevant as the popularity of electric bicycles rises. Accurate coding is essential for understanding injury patterns, facilitating public health research, and implementing safety measures. Documentation should include details about the circumstances of the accident, the nature of the injuries sustained, and any relevant environmental factors that may have contributed to the incident.
Emergency department notes should clearly outline the mechanism of injury, patient history, and any immediate interventions performed.
Patients presenting with fractures, lacerations, or contusions after falling from an electric bicycle.
Consider the patient's overall health status and any pre-existing conditions that may affect recovery.
Detailed operative reports and injury assessments are necessary to capture the full extent of injuries sustained.
Trauma cases involving multiple injuries from falls or accidents while riding electric bicycles.
Ensure that all injuries are documented and coded accurately to reflect the complexity of trauma cases.
Used when a patient presents with injuries from an electric bicycle accident.
Document the patient's history, examination findings, and treatment plan.
Emergency medicine specialists should ensure thorough documentation of the mechanism of injury.
V28.01 covers injuries sustained by electric bicycle drivers in noncollision transport accidents, such as falls or mechanical failures, occurring outside of traffic scenarios.
No, V28.01 is specifically for nontraffic accidents. For traffic-related incidents, other codes such as V28.03 should be used.
