Pedestrian on roller-skates injured in collision with two- or three-wheeled motor vehicle, unspecified whether traffic or nontraffic accident
ICD-10 V02.91 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of pedestrian on roller-skates injured in collision with two- or three-wheeled motor vehicle, unspecified whether traffic or nontraffic accident.
The V02.91 code is used to classify injuries sustained by pedestrians on roller-skates involved in collisions with two- or three-wheeled motor vehicles. This code is particularly relevant in scenarios where the circumstances of the accident are not clearly defined as either traffic-related or nontraffic-related. Such incidents can occur in various environments, including urban settings where pedestrians may be skating on sidewalks or in parks. The injuries can range from minor abrasions to severe trauma, depending on the speed of the vehicle and the nature of the collision. Accurate coding is essential for understanding the epidemiology of such injuries, which can inform public health initiatives aimed at improving safety for pedestrians and roller-skating enthusiasts. Documentation should include details about the environment, the nature of the collision, and the injuries sustained to ensure proper coding and analysis.
Emergency department notes should clearly document the mechanism of injury, the patient's condition upon arrival, and any immediate interventions performed.
Patients presenting with lacerations, fractures, or contusions after being struck by a motor vehicle while roller-skating.
Ensure that the documentation specifies whether the incident occurred on a public road or private property, as this may affect coding.
Operative reports must detail the injuries sustained, surgical interventions performed, and the mechanism of injury.
Trauma cases involving significant injuries from collisions, requiring surgical intervention.
Consider the potential for multiple injuries and the need for additional external cause codes.
Used when a patient presents with injuries from a collision.
Document the patient's condition, treatment provided, and any referrals made.
Emergency medicine providers should ensure that the visit is coded accurately based on the complexity of the case.
Document the specifics of the accident, including the type of vehicle involved, the environment where the incident occurred, and the injuries sustained. This information is crucial for accurate coding and billing.
