Pedestrian on standing micro-mobility pedestrian conveyance injured in collision with other nonmotor vehicle in traffic accident
ICD-10 V06.13 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of pedestrian on standing micro-mobility pedestrian conveyance injured in collision with other nonmotor vehicle in traffic accident.
V06.13 is used to classify injuries sustained by pedestrians using standing micro-mobility devices, such as e-scooters or standing bicycles, when involved in a collision with nonmotor vehicles (e.g., bicycles, skateboards, or pedestrians) during a traffic accident. This code is essential for capturing the growing trend of micro-mobility transportation, which has become increasingly popular in urban areas. Accurate coding of such incidents is crucial for public health data collection, injury prevention strategies, and resource allocation. The code helps identify specific injury patterns and trends associated with micro-mobility devices, enabling healthcare providers and policymakers to address safety concerns and implement effective interventions. Documentation should include details about the type of conveyance, the circumstances of the collision, and any resulting injuries to ensure accurate coding and analysis.
Emergency department notes should clearly document the mechanism of injury, type of conveyance, and any immediate interventions performed.
Patients presenting with fractures, lacerations, or concussions after a collision while using a standing micro-mobility device.
Consideration of local traffic laws and regulations regarding micro-mobility devices, as well as the potential for multiple injuries.
Detailed operative reports and trauma assessments should include the mechanism of injury, type of conveyance, and specific injuries sustained.
Trauma cases involving significant injuries from collisions with nonmotor vehicles, requiring surgical intervention.
Assessment of potential long-term complications from injuries sustained in micro-mobility accidents.
Used when a patient presents to the emergency department with injuries from a micro-mobility accident.
Documentation must support the level of service, including history, examination, and medical decision-making.
Emergency medicine providers should be aware of the specific injuries associated with micro-mobility accidents.
Common injuries include fractures, concussions, and lacerations resulting from collisions with nonmotor vehicles or falls.
