Pedestrian with other conveyance injured in collision with two- or three-wheeled motor vehicle, unspecified whether traffic or nontraffic accident
ICD-10 V02.99 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of pedestrian with other conveyance injured in collision with two- or three-wheeled motor vehicle, unspecified whether traffic or nontraffic accident.
The ICD-10 code V02.99 is used to classify injuries sustained by pedestrians using other conveyances, such as bicycles or scooters, when involved in a collision with two- or three-wheeled motor vehicles. This code is particularly relevant in cases where the specifics of the accident (traffic vs. nontraffic) are not clearly defined. The injuries can range from minor abrasions to severe trauma, including fractures or head injuries, depending on the speed of the vehicle and the circumstances of the collision. Accurate coding is essential for understanding the epidemiology of such incidents, which can inform public health initiatives aimed at reducing pedestrian injuries. Documentation should include details about the type of conveyance used, the circumstances of the accident, and any contributing factors such as environmental conditions or the behavior of the motor vehicle operator.
Emergency departments must document the mechanism of injury, type of conveyance, and any relevant environmental factors.
Patients presenting with injuries from collisions while riding bicycles or scooters.
