Pedestrian on other standing micro-mobility pedestrian conveyance injured in collision with other nonmotor vehicle, unspecified whether traffic or nontraffic accident
ICD-10 V06.938 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, unspecified whether traffic or nontraffic accident.
This code is used to classify injuries sustained by pedestrians using standing micro-mobility conveyances, such as e-scooters or standing bicycles, when they are involved in a collision with nonmotor vehicles, such as bicycles or pedestrians. The distinction of whether the incident occurred in a traffic or nontraffic context is unspecified, which can complicate the coding process. Clinical scenarios may include a pedestrian on an e-scooter colliding with a cyclist on a bike path or a pedestrian using a standing scooter being struck by another pedestrian. Accurate documentation of the circumstances surrounding the incident is crucial for proper coding and understanding the external causes of morbidity and mortality related to micro-mobility conveyances.
Emergency department notes should clearly describe the mechanism of injury, type of conveyance, and details of the collision.
Patients presenting with fractures or soft tissue injuries after a collision while using a standing scooter.
Ensure that the documentation specifies the type of micro-mobility device and the circumstances of the accident.
Trauma assessments must include detailed descriptions of injuries and the context of the accident.
Trauma cases involving significant injuries from collisions with nonmotor vehicles.
Consider the mechanism of injury and potential for multiple injuries when coding.
Used for patients presenting with injuries from micro-mobility accidents.
Document the nature of the injury, mechanism of injury, and any treatments provided.
Emergency medicine providers should ensure thorough documentation to support the level of service billed.
Injuries sustained by pedestrians using standing micro-mobility devices, such as e-scooters or standing bicycles, in collisions with nonmotor vehicles.
Ensure detailed documentation of the incident, including the type of micro-mobility device, the nature of the collision, and whether it occurred in a traffic or nontraffic context.
