Pedestrian on standing micro-mobility pedestrian conveyance injured in collision with two- or three-wheeled motor vehicle in nontraffic accident
ICD-10 V02.03 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of pedestrian on standing micro-mobility pedestrian conveyance injured in collision with two- or three-wheeled motor vehicle in nontraffic accident.
This code is used to classify injuries sustained by pedestrians who are using standing micro-mobility devices, such as electric scooters or standing bicycles, when they are involved in a collision with two- or three-wheeled motor vehicles outside of traditional traffic scenarios. Nontraffic accidents may occur in various settings, including private property, parking lots, or pedestrian walkways. 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 is essential for tracking injury patterns, understanding public health implications, and ensuring appropriate resource allocation for injury prevention programs. This code helps in identifying the specific circumstances under which the injury occurred, which is crucial for epidemiological studies and injury prevention strategies.
Emergency departments must document the mechanism of injury, type of vehicle involved, and the specific micro-mobility device used.
Patients presenting with injuries from collisions while using electric scooters in parking lots or private property.
Consideration of the patient's overall condition and any additional injuries that may require separate coding.
Trauma documentation should include detailed descriptions of the injury patterns and the circumstances of the collision.
Trauma cases involving severe injuries from collisions with motorcycles or scooters.
Trauma surgeons should be aware of the potential for multiple injuries and the need for comprehensive coding.
Used for patients presenting with injuries from nontraffic accidents.
Document the nature of the injury and the circumstances of the accident.
Emergency medicine providers should ensure accurate coding of the external cause.
Using V02.03 helps in accurately capturing the circumstances of injuries related to micro-mobility devices, which is essential for public health data and injury prevention strategies.
