Pedestrian on skateboard injured in collision with other nonmotor vehicle, unspecified whether traffic or nontraffic accident
ICD-10 V06.92 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of pedestrian on skateboard injured in collision with other nonmotor vehicle, unspecified whether traffic or nontraffic accident.
V06.92 is used to classify injuries sustained by a pedestrian riding a skateboard who is involved in a collision with a nonmotor vehicle. This code is particularly relevant in scenarios where the specifics of the accident (traffic vs. nontraffic) are not clearly defined. Common examples include collisions with bicycles, pedestrians, or stationary objects. Accurate coding is essential for understanding the epidemiology of skateboard-related injuries, which can inform public health initiatives aimed at reducing such incidents. Documentation should include details about the circumstances of the accident, the type of nonmotor vehicle involved, and any contributing factors such as environmental conditions or the presence of bystanders. This code helps in tracking injury patterns and developing safety measures for skateboard users.
Emergency departments must document the mechanism of injury, including the type of skateboard and details of the collision.
Patients presenting with fractures, lacerations, or concussions after a skateboard accident.
Consider environmental factors such as road conditions or visibility that may have contributed to the accident.
Detailed trauma assessments and descriptions of injuries sustained during the collision.
Trauma cases involving multiple injuries from skateboard accidents requiring surgical intervention.
Ensure accurate coding of all injuries sustained, as multiple codes may be necessary.
Used when a patient presents to the emergency department with skateboard-related injuries.
Document the nature of the injury, treatment provided, and any follow-up care instructions.
Emergency medicine specialists should ensure that the external cause code is linked to the primary diagnosis.
Documentation should include details about the accident, such as the type of nonmotor vehicle involved, the circumstances leading to the collision, and any environmental factors that may have contributed to the injury.
