Code Description

ICD-10 V06.038 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of pedestrian on other standing micro-mobility pedestrian conveyance injured in collision with other nonmotor vehicle in nontraffic accident.

Key Diagnostic Point:

This code is used to classify injuries sustained by pedestrians using standing micro-mobility devices, such as e-scooters or standing bicycles, when they collide with nonmotor vehicles (e.g., bicycles, skateboards) in nontraffic settings, such as private property or parks. The increasing popularity of micro-mobility devices has led to a rise in related injuries, necessitating accurate coding for effective public health tracking and resource allocation. Clinicians must document the specifics of the incident, including the type of conveyance involved, the nature of the collision, and the environment where the accident occurred. This information is crucial for understanding the epidemiology of such injuries and for developing preventive measures.

Code Complexity Analysis

Complexity Rating: Medium

Medium Complexity

Complexity Factors

  • Determining the specific type of micro-mobility device used.
  • Identifying the nature of the collision and the involved parties.
  • Clarifying the setting of the accident (nontraffic vs. traffic).
  • Ensuring accurate documentation of the external cause of injury.

Audit Risk Factors

  • Insufficient documentation of the type of micro-mobility device.
  • Ambiguity in the description of the accident setting.
  • Failure to specify the nature of the collision.
  • Inaccurate linkage between the injury and the external cause code.
