Car passenger injured in collision with van in nontraffic accident
ICD-10 V43.14 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of car passenger injured in collision with van in nontraffic accident.
The ICD-10 code V43.14 is used to classify injuries sustained by a car passenger involved in a collision with a van that occurs outside of typical traffic scenarios. This code is particularly relevant in cases where the accident occurs in a parking lot, private property, or during a non-traffic-related event. Clinical documentation should detail the circumstances surrounding the incident, including the location, the nature of the collision, and the specific injuries sustained. Accurate coding is essential for understanding the epidemiology of such incidents and for ensuring appropriate treatment and resource allocation. This code helps in tracking nontraffic-related injuries, which can inform public health initiatives aimed at reducing such occurrences.
Emergency departments must document the mechanism of injury, location, and any relevant patient history.
Patients presenting with injuries from collisions in parking lots or private properties.
Emergency physicians should ensure that the narrative of the incident is clear to support the coding.
Trauma documentation should include detailed descriptions of injuries and the mechanism of injury.
Trauma cases involving significant injuries from nontraffic collisions.
Trauma surgeons should be aware of the implications of coding for injury severity and treatment planning.
Used when a patient presents to the emergency department with injuries from a nontraffic accident.
Documentation must support the level of service provided, including history, examination, and medical decision-making.
Emergency medicine specialists should ensure that the visit is well-documented to justify the CPT code.
Documentation should include the specifics of the accident, including the location, type of vehicles involved, and the nature of the injuries sustained. Clear narratives help support the coding.
