Pedestrian on skateboard injured in collision with pedal cycle in nontraffic accident
ICD-10 V01.02 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of pedestrian on skateboard injured in collision with pedal cycle in nontraffic accident.
The ICD-10 code V01.02 is used to classify injuries sustained by a pedestrian riding a skateboard who is involved in a collision with a pedal cycle, specifically in a nontraffic accident context. This code is essential for capturing the external cause of morbidity and mortality related to such incidents. Nontraffic accidents can occur in various environments, such as parks, driveways, or residential areas, where the risk of collision between pedestrians and cyclists is present. Accurate coding of this incident is crucial for public health data collection, injury prevention strategies, and resource allocation for emergency services. It also aids in understanding the epidemiology of injuries related to skateboarding and cycling, which can inform safety campaigns and policy-making. Proper documentation should include details about the circumstances of the accident, the nature of the injuries sustained, and any contributing factors such as environmental conditions or the behavior of the individuals involved.
Emergency departments must document the mechanism of injury, location of the incident, and any contributing factors such as weather or visibility.
Patients presenting with fractures, lacerations, or contusions after a skateboard and bicycle collision.
Ensure that the medical record reflects the nontraffic nature of the accident to avoid misclassification.
Detailed trauma assessments should include the mechanism of injury and any surgical interventions performed.
Trauma cases involving significant injuries from skateboard accidents, requiring surgical evaluation.
Consider the potential for multiple injuries and the need for comprehensive coding to reflect all aspects of the trauma.
Used when a patient presents to the emergency department with injuries from a skateboard and bicycle collision.
Document the nature of the injuries, treatment provided, and any follow-up care needed.
Emergency medicine specialists should ensure that the visit level reflects the complexity of the case.
Use V01.02 when documenting injuries sustained by a pedestrian on a skateboard involved in a collision with a pedal cycle in a nontraffic setting. Ensure that the medical record supports this coding.
