Pedestrian with other conveyance injured in collision with other nonmotor vehicle in nontraffic accident
ICD-10 V06.09 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of pedestrian with other conveyance injured in collision with other nonmotor vehicle in nontraffic accident.
The ICD-10 code V06.09 is used to classify injuries sustained by pedestrians who are using other conveyances, such as bicycles, scooters, or skateboards, when they collide with nonmotor vehicles (e.g., bicycles, horses, or pedestrians) in nontraffic situations. This code is particularly relevant in urban settings where pedestrian and nonmotor vehicle interactions are common. Clinical scenarios may include a pedestrian on a scooter colliding with a cyclist on a sidewalk or a skateboarder colliding with another pedestrian in a park. Accurate coding is essential for tracking injury patterns, understanding public health implications, and ensuring appropriate resource allocation for injury prevention programs. Documentation must clearly indicate the type of conveyance involved, the nature of the collision, and the circumstances surrounding the incident to support the use of this specific code.
Emergency department notes must include details about the incident, the type of conveyance, and the mechanism of injury.
Patients presenting with fractures or soft tissue injuries after a collision with another nonmotor vehicle.
Emergency providers should ensure that all relevant details are captured in the medical record to support accurate coding.
Trauma documentation should include a thorough description of the injury mechanism and any associated injuries.
Trauma cases involving multiple injuries from a collision with another nonmotor vehicle.
Trauma surgeons must be aware of the specific conveyance involved to ensure accurate coding.
Used when a patient presents to the emergency department with injuries from a nonmotor vehicle collision.
Documentation must support the level of service and include details of the injury mechanism.
Emergency medicine providers should ensure that all relevant details are captured for accurate coding.
V06.09 covers injuries sustained by pedestrians using other conveyances, such as bicycles or scooters, when involved in collisions with nonmotor vehicles in nontraffic situations.
Documentation should include the type of conveyance used by the pedestrian, the nature of the collision, and the circumstances surrounding the incident to support accurate coding.
