Pedestrian on standing micro-mobility pedestrian conveyance injured in collision with railway train or railway vehicle in nontraffic accident
ICD-10 V05.03 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of pedestrian on standing micro-mobility pedestrian conveyance injured in collision with railway train or railway vehicle in nontraffic accident.
V05.03 is used to classify injuries sustained by pedestrians using standing micro-mobility conveyances, such as e-scooters or standing bicycles, who are involved in a collision with a railway train or railway vehicle. This code is particularly relevant in nontraffic accidents, meaning that the incident does not occur on a public roadway but rather in areas such as train stations, railway yards, or other locations where trains operate. The injuries can range from minor to severe, depending on the speed of the train and the circumstances of the collision. Accurate coding is essential for tracking injury patterns, understanding the risks associated with micro-mobility devices, and informing public health initiatives aimed at improving safety for pedestrians in proximity to railway systems.
Emergency departments must document the mechanism of injury, type of conveyance, and specific details of the collision.
Patients presenting with fractures, lacerations, or concussions after being struck by a train while using a standing micro-mobility device.
Consideration of the patient's location at the time of the accident is crucial for accurate coding.
Trauma documentation should include detailed descriptions of injuries, surgical interventions, and the circumstances of the accident.
Severe injuries requiring surgical intervention, such as traumatic amputations or spinal injuries from train collisions.
Trauma surgeons must ensure that all relevant external cause codes are captured to reflect the complexity of the injuries.
Used when a patient presents with severe injuries from a train collision.
Documentation must support the severity of the visit and the nature of the injuries.
Emergency medicine specialists should ensure that all relevant injuries and external causes are documented.
Use V05.03 when documenting injuries sustained by a pedestrian on a standing micro-mobility conveyance involved in a collision with a railway train or vehicle in a nontraffic setting.
Documentation must include details about the type of micro-mobility device, the circumstances of the collision, and the specific injuries sustained.
