Person on outside of heavy transport vehicle injured in collision with two- or three-wheeled motor vehicle in nontraffic accident
ICD-10 V62.2 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of person on outside of heavy transport vehicle injured in collision with two- or three-wheeled motor vehicle in nontraffic accident.
V62.2 is used to classify injuries sustained by individuals who are outside of a heavy transport vehicle (such as a bus or truck) and are involved in a collision with a two- or three-wheeled motor vehicle (like a motorcycle or scooter) during a nontraffic accident. This code is particularly relevant in scenarios where the collision occurs in settings such as parking lots, private property, or during loading/unloading activities. The injuries can range from minor abrasions to severe trauma, depending on the circumstances of the collision. Accurate coding of this scenario is crucial for understanding the epidemiology of such incidents and for appropriate resource allocation in public health and trauma care. Documentation should include details about the environment, the nature of the collision, and the injuries sustained to ensure proper coding and billing.
Emergency department notes should clearly describe the mechanism of injury, the patient's condition upon arrival, and any immediate interventions performed.
Patients presenting with lacerations, fractures, or contusions after being struck by a motorcycle while standing outside a bus.
Ensure that the documentation specifies the nontraffic nature of the accident to avoid misclassification.
Trauma registries require detailed descriptions of the injury mechanism, including the type of vehicles involved and the patient's trajectory during the incident.
Trauma cases involving severe injuries from collisions with motorcycles while the patient is outside a heavy transport vehicle.
Accurate coding is essential for trauma statistics and resource allocation; ensure all details are captured.
Used when a patient presents to the emergency department with injuries from a nontraffic accident.
Document the nature of the injuries, the mechanism of injury, and any treatments provided.
Emergency medicine specialists should ensure that the visit level reflects the complexity of the case.
Injuries coded with V62.2 can include fractures, lacerations, contusions, and other trauma resulting from collisions with two- or three-wheeled vehicles while outside a heavy transport vehicle.
