Pedestrian on other standing micro-mobility pedestrian conveyance injured in collision with two- or three-wheeled motor vehicle in nontraffic accident
ICD-10 V02.038 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of pedestrian on other 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 using standing micro-mobility devices, such as electric scooters or hoverboards, 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, such as parking lots, private property, or during recreational activities. Accurate coding of this scenario is crucial for understanding the epidemiology of injuries related to micro-mobility devices and for implementing public health interventions aimed at reducing such incidents. Documentation should include details about the circumstances of the accident, the type of micro-mobility device involved, and the nature of the injuries sustained. This code helps in tracking trends in pedestrian safety and the impact of emerging transportation technologies on public health.
Emergency department notes should clearly outline the mechanism of injury, type of conveyance, and any relevant witness statements.
Patients presenting with fractures, contusions, or lacerations after being struck by a motor vehicle while using a micro-mobility device.
Consideration of potential underlying conditions that may affect injury severity, such as age or pre-existing health issues.
Detailed trauma assessments and surgical notes should include specifics about the injury patterns and the mechanism of injury.
Trauma cases involving significant injuries from collisions, requiring surgical intervention or extensive rehabilitation.
Understanding the potential for multiple injuries and the need for comprehensive trauma care protocols.
Used when a patient presents to the emergency department with significant injuries from a collision.
Detailed documentation of the patient's condition, treatment provided, and any imaging studies performed.
Emergency medicine specialists should ensure that all relevant details of the incident are captured.
This code encompasses various standing micro-mobility devices such as electric scooters, hoverboards, and similar conveyances that are not classified as traditional bicycles.
