Pedestrian on skateboard injured in collision with other nonmotor vehicle in nontraffic accident
ICD-10 V06.02 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of pedestrian on skateboard injured in collision with other nonmotor vehicle in nontraffic accident.
The ICD-10 code V06.02 is used to classify injuries sustained by a pedestrian riding a skateboard who is involved in a collision with a nonmotor vehicle, such as a bicycle, scooter, or other similar objects, in a nontraffic setting. This code is particularly relevant in urban environments where skateboarding is common, and accidents may occur in parks, driveways, or other areas not designated as roadways. Injuries can range from minor abrasions to severe trauma, depending on the circumstances of the collision. Accurate coding is essential for tracking injury patterns, understanding public health implications, and ensuring appropriate resource allocation for injury prevention programs. Documentation should include details about the nature of the collision, the type of nonmotor vehicle involved, and the specific injuries sustained to support the use of this code.
Emergency department notes should clearly describe the mechanism of injury, the patient's condition upon arrival, and any immediate interventions performed.
Patients presenting with fractures, lacerations, or contusions after a skateboard collision with a bicycle or similar object.
Consideration should be given to the patient's age and activity level, as these factors may influence the severity of injuries.
Trauma assessments must include detailed descriptions of the injuries, surgical interventions, and follow-up care plans.
Severe injuries requiring surgical intervention, such as open fractures or internal injuries resulting from a skateboard collision.
Trauma surgeons should ensure that all relevant details are captured to support the coding of both the injury and the external cause.
Used when a patient presents to the emergency department with injuries from a skateboard collision.
Documentation must include the patient's history, examination findings, and treatment provided.
Emergency medicine providers should ensure that the mechanism of injury is clearly documented.
Injuries coded with V06.02 can include fractures, lacerations, contusions, and concussions resulting from collisions between skateboarders and nonmotor vehicles in nontraffic settings.
