Pedestrian injured in collision with other nonmotor vehicle in nontraffic accident
ICD-10 V06.0 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of pedestrian injured in collision with other nonmotor vehicle in nontraffic accident.
The ICD-10 code V06.0 is used to classify injuries sustained by pedestrians involved in collisions with nonmotor vehicles, such as bicycles, skateboards, or other non-motorized conveyances, in nontraffic settings. This code is particularly relevant in scenarios where the pedestrian is struck while on private property, in parks, or during recreational activities. The injuries can range from minor bruises to severe trauma, including fractures or head injuries. Accurate coding is essential for tracking injury patterns, understanding public health implications, and ensuring appropriate resource allocation for prevention strategies. Documentation should clearly indicate the circumstances of the incident, including the type of nonmotor vehicle involved and the location of the accident, to support the use of this specific code.
Emergency department notes must include details of the incident, type of nonmotor vehicle, and specific injuries sustained.
Patients presenting with fractures, lacerations, or contusions after being struck by a bicycle or skateboard.
Ensure that the mechanism of injury is clearly documented to support the use of V06.0.
Trauma assessments should detail the mechanism of injury, including the type of nonmotor vehicle and the impact on the patient.
Trauma cases involving severe injuries from collisions with nonmotor vehicles requiring surgical intervention.
Accurate coding is crucial for trauma registries and public health data.
Used for patients presenting with moderate injuries from nonmotor vehicle collisions.
Document the nature of the injury and the circumstances of the accident.
Emergency medicine providers should ensure thorough documentation to support the level of service billed.
V06.0 covers incidents where pedestrians are injured in collisions with nonmotor vehicles, such as bicycles or skateboards, occurring in nontraffic settings.
