Driver of pick-up truck or van injured in noncollision transport accident in nontraffic accident
ICD-10 V58.0 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of driver of pick-up truck or van injured in noncollision transport accident in nontraffic accident.
The ICD-10 code V58.0 is used to classify injuries sustained by the driver of a pick-up truck or van during a noncollision transport accident that occurs outside of traffic scenarios. This may include incidents such as rollovers, falls from the vehicle, or accidents occurring while the vehicle is stationary. Accurate coding of this scenario is crucial for understanding the epidemiology of nontraffic-related injuries and for appropriate resource allocation in public health. Documentation should clearly indicate the circumstances of the accident, including the nature of the noncollision event, to ensure proper coding and billing. This code is particularly relevant in emergency medicine and trauma settings, where understanding the mechanism of injury can guide treatment and prevention strategies.
Emergency department notes should include a detailed account of the incident, including the mechanism of injury and any relevant patient history.
Patients presenting with injuries from falls while entering or exiting the vehicle, or injuries sustained during vehicle maintenance.
Ensure that the narrative clearly distinguishes between traffic and nontraffic incidents to avoid coding errors.
Trauma documentation must include specifics about the injury mechanism, patient demographics, and any pre-existing conditions that may affect treatment.
Trauma cases involving rollovers or falls from a stationary vehicle, requiring surgical intervention.
Accurate coding is essential for trauma registries and for understanding injury patterns in nontraffic scenarios.
Used when a patient presents with injuries from a noncollision transport accident.
Document the nature of the injury, mechanism of injury, and any treatments provided.
Emergency medicine providers should ensure that the visit level reflects the complexity of the case.
V58.0 covers injuries sustained by drivers of pick-up trucks or vans during noncollision transport accidents, such as falls or rollovers that do not occur in traffic.
