Passenger in pick-up truck or van injured in collision with other and unspecified motor vehicles in nontraffic accident
ICD-10 V59.1 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of passenger in pick-up truck or van injured in collision with other and unspecified motor vehicles in nontraffic accident.
V59.1 is used to classify injuries sustained by passengers in pick-up trucks or vans involved in collisions with other motor vehicles outside of traditional traffic scenarios. This code is particularly relevant in cases where the incident occurs in non-traffic environments, such as parking lots, private property, or during off-road activities. The injuries can range from minor to severe, depending on the nature of the collision and the safety measures in place. Accurate coding is essential for tracking injury patterns, facilitating appropriate treatment, and ensuring proper reimbursement. Documentation should clearly indicate the circumstances of the accident, including the location, type of vehicles involved, and the nature of the injuries sustained. This code helps public health professionals analyze trends in nontraffic-related vehicle injuries, contributing to preventive measures and policy-making.
Emergency department notes must include details of the accident, patient assessment, and treatment provided.
Patients presenting with injuries from collisions in parking lots or during recreational activities.
Ensure that the mechanism of injury is clearly documented to support the use of V59.1.
