Pedestrian on roller-skates injured in collision with other nonmotor vehicle, unspecified whether traffic or nontraffic accident
ICD-10 V06.91 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of pedestrian on roller-skates injured in collision with other nonmotor vehicle, unspecified whether traffic or nontraffic accident.
V06.91 is an external cause code used to classify injuries sustained by a pedestrian on roller-skates involved in a collision with a nonmotor vehicle. This code is particularly relevant in scenarios where the specifics of the accident—whether it occurred in a traffic context or not—are not clearly defined. Common clinical presentations may include fractures, contusions, or lacerations resulting from the impact. Accurate coding is essential for understanding the epidemiology of roller-skating injuries and for implementing public health interventions aimed at reducing such incidents. This code is often used in emergency departments and trauma centers where immediate care is provided, and documentation may vary based on the circumstances surrounding the injury. Proper use of this code helps in tracking injury patterns and developing safety measures for roller-skating activities.
Detailed account of the incident, including location, time, and nature of the collision.
Patients presenting with injuries from roller-skating accidents, often requiring immediate assessment and treatment.
Ensure that the mechanism of injury is clearly documented to support the use of V06.91.
Comprehensive trauma documentation, including injury severity and treatment provided.
Trauma cases involving multiple injuries from roller-skating collisions, necessitating surgical intervention.
Consider the potential for co-existing injuries that may require additional coding.
Used when a patient presents with injuries from a roller-skating accident.
Document the nature of the injury, treatment provided, and any follow-up care needed.
Emergency medicine providers should ensure that the external cause code is linked to the visit.
Use V06.91 when documenting injuries sustained by a pedestrian on roller-skates involved in a collision with a nonmotor vehicle, and the specifics of the accident are not clearly defined.
