Pedestrian on other standing micro-mobility pedestrian conveyance injured in collision with two- or three wheeled motor vehicle, unspecified whether traffic or nontraffic accident
ICD-10 V02.938 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, unspecified whether traffic or nontraffic accident.
This code is used to classify injuries sustained by pedestrians using standing micro-mobility devices, such as electric scooters or standing bicycles, when involved in a collision with a two- or three-wheeled motor vehicle. The code does not specify whether the incident occurred in a traffic or non-traffic context, which can complicate the understanding of the circumstances surrounding the injury. Clinical scenarios may include a pedestrian on an electric scooter being struck by a motorcycle or a moped. Accurate documentation of the incident's context is crucial for proper coding and understanding the external causes of morbidity and mortality associated with micro-mobility devices. This code is particularly relevant in urban settings where micro-mobility options are increasingly popular, and the risk of accidents with motor vehicles is heightened. Understanding the external causes of these injuries can help inform public health initiatives aimed at improving safety for all road users.
Emergency department notes should clearly describe the mechanism of injury, the type of micro-mobility device involved, and the circumstances of the collision.
Patients presenting with injuries from collisions while using electric scooters or similar devices.
Consider the need for additional codes to capture specific injuries sustained during the incident.
Trauma documentation must include detailed descriptions of the injury patterns and the circumstances surrounding the collision.
Trauma cases involving severe injuries from collisions with motor vehicles.
Ensure that all injuries are documented and coded accurately to reflect the full extent of trauma.
Used when a patient presents with injuries from a collision involving a micro-mobility device.
Document the nature of the injuries and the circumstances of the accident.
Emergency medicine specialists should ensure that all relevant details are captured.
Document the type of micro-mobility device involved, the circumstances of the collision, and whether it occurred in a traffic or non-traffic context.
