Pedestrian on other standing micro-mobility pedestrian conveyance injured in collision with other nonmotor vehicle in traffic accident
ICD-10 V06.138 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 traffic accident.
This code is used to classify injuries sustained by pedestrians using standing micro-mobility devices, such as e-scooters or standing bicycles, when they are involved in a collision with nonmotor vehicles (e.g., bicycles, skateboards, or pedestrians) in a traffic accident. The increasing popularity of micro-mobility devices has led to a rise in related injuries, necessitating accurate coding for public health tracking and resource allocation. This code captures the external cause of morbidity and mortality associated with such incidents, providing essential data for injury prevention strategies and healthcare planning. Accurate documentation of the circumstances surrounding the incident, including the type of micro-mobility device and the nature of the collision, is crucial for effective coding and analysis.
Detailed account of the incident, including time, place, and mechanism of injury.
Patients presenting with injuries from e-scooter accidents involving other nonmotor vehicles.
Consideration of the patient's history and the specifics of the accident for accurate coding.
Comprehensive trauma documentation, including injury severity and mechanism of injury.
Trauma cases involving significant injuries from collisions with nonmotor vehicles.
Focus on the mechanism of injury to ensure accurate coding and treatment planning.
Used when a patient presents with significant injuries from a micro-mobility accident.
Document the severity of injuries and the nature of the accident.
Emergency medicine specialists should ensure thorough documentation to support the visit level.
This code covers injuries sustained by pedestrians using standing micro-mobility devices involved in collisions with nonmotor vehicles.
