Pedestrian on roller-skates injured in collision with two- or three-wheeled motor vehicle in nontraffic accident
ICD-10 V02.01 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of pedestrian on roller-skates injured in collision with two- or three-wheeled motor vehicle in nontraffic accident.
This code is used to classify injuries sustained by individuals who are using roller-skates and are involved in a collision with a two- or three-wheeled motor vehicle, specifically in a nontraffic setting. Nontraffic accidents may occur in various environments, such as parking lots, driveways, or private property, where typical traffic regulations do not apply. The injuries can range from minor abrasions to severe trauma, depending on the speed of the vehicle and the circumstances of the collision. Accurate coding of this incident is crucial for understanding the epidemiology of roller-skating injuries and for implementing preventive measures. It is also essential for proper reimbursement and resource allocation in healthcare settings. Documentation should include details about the circumstances of the accident, the type of vehicle involved, and the nature of the injuries sustained.
Emergency department notes should clearly describe the mechanism of injury, the patient's condition upon arrival, and any immediate interventions performed.
Patients presenting with fractures, lacerations, or contusions after being struck by a motor vehicle while roller-skating.
Ensure that the documentation specifies the nontraffic nature of the accident and the type of vehicle involved.
Trauma assessments must include detailed descriptions of injuries, surgical interventions, and the circumstances leading to the injury.
Severe injuries requiring surgical intervention, such as orthopedic repairs or soft tissue reconstruction.
Accurate coding is critical for trauma registries and quality improvement initiatives.
Used when a patient presents to the emergency department with injuries from a roller-skating accident.
Documentation must include the patient's presenting complaints, examination findings, and treatment provided.
Emergency medicine providers should ensure that the mechanism of injury is clearly documented.
Documentation should include the details of the accident, the type of vehicle involved, the location of the incident, and the nature of the injuries sustained.
