Pedestrian with other conveyance injured in collision with two- or three-wheeled motor vehicle in traffic accident
ICD-10 V02.19 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of pedestrian with other conveyance injured in collision with two- or three-wheeled motor vehicle in traffic accident.
This code is used to classify injuries sustained by pedestrians who are using other forms of conveyance, such as bicycles, skateboards, or scooters, when they are involved in a collision with two- or three-wheeled motor vehicles, such as motorcycles or scooters, during a traffic accident. The injuries can range from minor abrasions to severe trauma, including fractures, head injuries, and internal injuries. Accurate coding is essential for tracking morbidity and mortality associated with traffic accidents, which can inform public health initiatives and safety regulations. This code is particularly relevant in urban areas where mixed traffic patterns are common, and it highlights the vulnerability of pedestrians using alternative modes of transportation. Proper documentation of the circumstances surrounding the accident, including the type of conveyance used and the nature of the collision, is crucial for accurate coding and subsequent analysis of injury patterns.
Detailed documentation of the patient's condition upon arrival, including vital signs, mechanism of injury, and initial treatment provided.
Patients presenting with trauma from a collision while riding a bicycle or scooter, requiring immediate assessment and intervention.
Ensure that the mechanism of injury is clearly documented to support the use of V02.19, including the type of conveyance and the nature of the collision.
Comprehensive trauma documentation, including injury patterns, surgical interventions, and post-operative care.
Patients requiring surgical intervention for severe injuries sustained in a traffic accident involving a two- or three-wheeled motor vehicle.
Accurate coding of associated injuries is critical, and coders should ensure that all relevant injuries are captured to support the external cause code.
Used for patients presenting with severe injuries from a traffic accident.
Document the nature of the injuries, treatment provided, and any consultations.
Emergency medicine specialists should ensure that the visit level reflects the complexity of the case.
V02.19 applies to pedestrians using various forms of conveyance, including bicycles, scooters, and skateboards, when involved in a collision with two- or three-wheeled motor vehicles.
