Pedestrian on other standing micro-mobility pedestrian conveyance injured in collision with railway train or railway vehicle in traffic accident
ICD-10 V05.138 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of pedestrian on other standing micro-mobility pedestrian conveyance injured in collision with railway train or railway vehicle in traffic accident.
This code is used to classify injuries sustained by pedestrians who are using standing micro-mobility conveyances, such as electric scooters or standing bicycles, when they are involved in a collision with a railway train or railway vehicle. The use of micro-mobility devices has increased significantly in urban areas, leading to a rise in related accidents. This code captures the specific circumstances of the injury, emphasizing the involvement of a railway vehicle, which is critical for understanding the context of the accident. Accurate coding is essential for public health data collection, injury prevention strategies, and resource allocation for emergency services. It is important to document the type of micro-mobility device involved, the circumstances of the accident, and any contributing factors such as visibility, traffic conditions, and the behavior of both the pedestrian and the railway vehicle operator.
Emergency department notes should include details of the accident, type of conveyance, and any immediate interventions performed.
