Pedestrian on other standing micro-mobility pedestrian conveyance injured in collision with pedal cycle in nontraffic accident
ICD-10 V01.038 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of pedestrian on other standing micro-mobility pedestrian conveyance injured in collision with pedal cycle in nontraffic accident.
This code is used to classify injuries sustained by pedestrians using standing micro-mobility devices, such as e-scooters or standing electric bikes, when they are involved in a collision with a pedal cycle (bicycle) in a nontraffic setting. Nontraffic accidents may occur in various environments, including parks, private properties, or pedestrian pathways. The code captures the external cause of morbidity and mortality related to such incidents, emphasizing the importance of understanding the context of the injury. Accurate coding is essential for public health data collection, injury prevention strategies, and resource allocation. It is crucial for healthcare providers to document the specifics of the incident, including the type of micro-mobility device involved, the circumstances of the collision, and the location to ensure proper coding and analysis of trends in pedestrian injuries.
Emergency departments must document the mechanism of injury, type of micro-mobility device, and specific circumstances surrounding the collision.
Patients presenting with fractures, contusions, or lacerations after being struck by a bicycle while using a standing micro-mobility device.
Emergency providers should ensure that all relevant details are captured in the medical record to support accurate coding.
Trauma surgeons need to document the injury patterns, mechanism of injury, and any surgical interventions performed.
Trauma cases involving significant injuries from collisions, such as head injuries or fractures requiring surgical intervention.
Trauma documentation should include the specifics of the accident to support the use of this external cause code.
Used when a patient presents with significant injuries from a collision.
Document the mechanism of injury, vital signs, and any interventions performed.
Emergency medicine providers should ensure comprehensive documentation to support the visit level.
Documenting the type of micro-mobility device is crucial for accurate coding and understanding injury patterns, which can inform public health initiatives and safety regulations.
