Pedestrian on other standing micro-mobility pedestrian conveyance injured in collision with car, pick-up or van in traffic accident
ICD-10 V03.138 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of pedestrian on other standing micro-mobility pedestrian conveyance injured in collision with car, pick-up or van in traffic accident.
This code is used to classify injuries sustained by pedestrians using standing micro-mobility devices, such as e-scooters or standing bicycles, who are involved in a collision with a motor vehicle, specifically cars, pick-ups, or vans. The increasing popularity of micro-mobility devices has led to a rise in related traffic accidents, necessitating accurate coding to capture the nature of these incidents. Documentation should include details about the type of micro-mobility device, the circumstances of the collision, and any injuries sustained. This code is critical for public health data collection, as it helps identify trends in pedestrian injuries related to micro-mobility devices, informing safety regulations and urban planning.
Emergency departments must document the mechanism of injury, type of micro-mobility device, and any relevant traffic conditions.
Patients presenting with injuries from collisions while using e-scooters or similar devices.
Ensure that the documentation reflects the specifics of the incident to avoid misclassification.
Trauma documentation should include detailed descriptions of injuries, mechanism of injury, and any surgical interventions performed.
Trauma cases involving significant injuries from micro-mobility accidents.
Accurate coding is essential for trauma registries and research purposes.
Used when a patient presents with significant injuries from a micro-mobility accident.
Document the severity of the injuries and the treatment provided.
Emergency medicine specialists should ensure that the visit level reflects the complexity of the case.
This code applies to various standing micro-mobility devices, including e-scooters, standing bicycles, and similar conveyances.
Document the type of micro-mobility device, the circumstances of the collision, and any injuries sustained to ensure accurate coding.
