Pedestrian on standing micro-mobility pedestrian conveyance injured in collision with other nonmotor vehicle, unspecified whether traffic or nontraffic accident
ICD-10 V06.93 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of pedestrian on standing micro-mobility pedestrian conveyance injured in collision with other nonmotor vehicle, unspecified whether traffic or nontraffic accident.
V06.93 is used to classify injuries sustained by pedestrians using standing micro-mobility devices, such as electric scooters or standing bicycles, when they collide with other nonmotor vehicles, such as bicycles or pedestrians. This code is particularly relevant in urban settings where micro-mobility options are increasingly popular. The code does not specify whether the incident occurred in a traffic or nontraffic context, which can complicate the coding process. Accurate documentation is crucial to determine the circumstances surrounding the injury, including the type of conveyance involved and the nature of the collision. This code is essential for tracking injury patterns related to micro-mobility devices and can inform public health initiatives aimed at improving safety and reducing accidents.
Emergency departments must document the mechanism of injury, type of conveyance, and circumstances of the collision.
Patients presenting with fractures, lacerations, or contusions after a collision while using a standing micro-mobility device.
Emergency physicians should ensure that the documentation clearly distinguishes between traffic and nontraffic incidents to support accurate coding.
Trauma surgeons need detailed accounts of the injury mechanism, including the type of micro-mobility device and the nature of the collision.
Trauma cases involving significant injuries from collisions with bicycles or pedestrians.
Trauma documentation should include any pre-existing conditions that may affect recovery and the specifics of the injury sustained.
Used when a patient presents to the emergency department with injuries from a micro-mobility accident.
Documentation must include the mechanism of injury and any treatments provided.
Emergency medicine specialists should ensure that the visit is coded accurately based on the complexity of the case.
Document the type of micro-mobility device involved, the circumstances of the collision, and any injuries sustained. Ensure clarity on whether the incident was traffic or nontraffic related.
