Pedestrian on skateboard injured in collision with car, pick-up truck or van, unspecified whether traffic or nontraffic accident
ICD-10 V03.92 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of pedestrian on skateboard injured in collision with car, pick-up truck or van, unspecified whether traffic or nontraffic accident.
The ICD-10 code V03.92 is used to classify injuries sustained by a pedestrian on a skateboard involved in a collision with a car, pick-up truck, or van. This code is particularly relevant in scenarios where the circumstances of the accident are unclear, whether it occurred on a public roadway or in a non-traffic environment, such as a parking lot or private property. Injuries may range from minor abrasions to severe trauma, including fractures or head injuries. Accurate coding is essential for tracking injury patterns, understanding the epidemiology of skateboard-related accidents, and facilitating appropriate public health interventions. This code is often utilized in emergency departments, trauma centers, and outpatient settings where initial assessments and treatments are provided for such injuries.
Emergency departments must document the mechanism of injury, location of the accident, and any relevant patient history to support the use of V03.92.
Patients presenting with lacerations, fractures, or concussions after being struck by a vehicle while skateboarding.
Emergency physicians should ensure that the documentation clearly indicates whether the incident was traffic-related or not, as this impacts coding.
Trauma surgeons need detailed operative reports that describe the nature of injuries and the circumstances leading to the collision.
Severe injuries requiring surgical intervention, such as orthopedic repairs or neurosurgical procedures following a skateboard accident.
Trauma documentation must include specifics about the mechanism of injury to support accurate coding and billing.
Used when a patient presents to the emergency department with injuries from a skateboard accident.
Documentation must include the nature of the injury, treatment provided, and any follow-up care needed.
Emergency medicine specialists should ensure that the visit level reflects the complexity of the case.
You should document the mechanism of injury, the type of vehicle involved, the location of the accident, and the severity of the injuries sustained.
