Pedestrian on standing micro-mobility pedestrian conveyance injured in collision with car, pick-up or van, unspecified whether traffic or nontraffic accident
ICD-10 V03.93 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of pedestrian on standing micro-mobility pedestrian conveyance injured in collision with car, pick-up or van, unspecified whether traffic or nontraffic accident.
V03.93 is used to classify injuries sustained by pedestrians using standing micro-mobility devices, such as e-scooters or standing bicycles, when involved in a collision with a car, pick-up, or van. This code is particularly relevant in urban settings where micro-mobility options are increasingly popular. The code does not specify whether the incident occurred in a traffic or non-traffic context, which can complicate the coding process. Accurate documentation is crucial, as it helps to determine the circumstances of the accident, the severity of injuries, and the appropriate treatment. This code is essential for public health data collection, as it helps identify trends in 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 circumstances of the collision.
Patients presenting with fractures, lacerations, or concussions after being struck by a vehicle while using a standing micro-mobility device.
Consideration of local traffic laws and regulations regarding micro-mobility devices is essential for accurate coding.
Trauma documentation should include detailed descriptions of injuries, the mechanism of injury, and any surgical interventions performed.
Trauma cases involving severe injuries from collisions, requiring surgical intervention or hospitalization.
Trauma surgeons should be aware of the increasing prevalence of micro-mobility injuries and their implications for treatment protocols.
Used for patients presenting with injuries from a collision while using a micro-mobility device.
Document the nature of the injuries and the mechanism of the accident.
Emergency medicine specialists should ensure thorough documentation to support the level of service billed.
You should document the type of micro-mobility device involved, the circumstances of the collision, and any injuries sustained. Clear descriptions will help differentiate between traffic and non-traffic incidents.
