Unspecified occupant of heavy transport vehicle injured in collision with two- or three-wheeled motor vehicle in nontraffic accident
ICD-10 V62.3 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of unspecified occupant of heavy transport vehicle injured in collision with two- or three-wheeled motor vehicle in nontraffic accident.
V62.3 is used to classify injuries sustained by an unspecified occupant of a heavy transport vehicle involved in a collision with a two- or three-wheeled motor vehicle during a nontraffic accident. Nontraffic accidents can occur in various settings, such as parking lots, private property, or during loading and unloading activities. The code captures the external cause of morbidity and mortality related to such incidents, which may involve complex interactions between vehicles and environmental factors. Accurate coding is essential for understanding the epidemiology of these injuries, facilitating appropriate treatment, and ensuring proper resource allocation for public health initiatives aimed at reducing such accidents. Documentation should include details about the circumstances of the accident, the type of vehicles involved, and the nature of the injuries sustained.
Emergency departments must document the mechanism of injury, vehicle types, and patient condition upon arrival.
Patients presenting with injuries from collisions in parking lots or during vehicle maneuvers.
Ensure that the documentation clearly indicates the nontraffic nature of the accident to avoid misclassification.
Trauma registries require detailed descriptions of the injury mechanism and patient demographics.
Trauma cases involving heavy transport vehicles and motorcyclists or scooter riders.
Accurate coding is crucial for trauma outcomes analysis and resource allocation.
Used when a patient presents to the emergency department with injuries from a nontraffic accident.
Document the reason for the visit, including details of the accident and injuries.
Emergency medicine providers should ensure that the mechanism of injury is clearly documented.
V62.3 covers injuries sustained by occupants of heavy transport vehicles involved in collisions with two- or three-wheeled motor vehicles during nontraffic accidents, such as those occurring in parking lots or private property.
