Pedestrian with other conveyance injured in collision with other nonmotor vehicle, unspecified whether traffic or nontraffic accident
ICD-10 V06.99 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of pedestrian with other conveyance injured in collision with other nonmotor vehicle, unspecified whether traffic or nontraffic accident.
The ICD-10 code V06.99 is used to classify injuries sustained by pedestrians using other conveyances, such as bicycles, scooters, or skateboards, when they collide with nonmotor vehicles like bicycles, pedestrians, or animals. This code is particularly relevant in scenarios where the specifics of the accident (traffic vs. nontraffic) are not clearly defined. It captures a range of incidents that may occur in various environments, including urban settings, parks, or residential areas. Accurate coding is essential for understanding the epidemiology of such injuries, which can inform public health initiatives aimed at reducing pedestrian-related accidents. Documentation should include details about the type of conveyance used, the circumstances of the collision, and any contributing factors such as environmental conditions or the presence of other individuals. This code is vital for tracking injury patterns and developing preventive measures in public health.
Emergency department notes should clearly describe the mechanism of injury, type of conveyance, and any relevant environmental factors.
Patients presenting with injuries from collisions while riding bicycles or scooters, especially in urban areas.
Consideration of local traffic laws and regulations that may impact the classification of the accident.
Detailed trauma assessments should include the nature of the injuries, the mechanism of injury, and any surgical interventions performed.
Trauma cases involving severe injuries from collisions with nonmotor vehicles, requiring surgical intervention.
Documentation must reflect the severity of injuries and the context of the accident for accurate coding.
Used when a patient presents to the emergency department with injuries from a collision.
Documentation must support the level of service provided, including history, examination, and medical decision-making.
Emergency medicine providers should ensure that the mechanism of injury is clearly documented.
Documentation should include the type of conveyance used by the pedestrian, the circumstances of the collision, and any relevant environmental factors. Clear details about the accident's nature (traffic vs. nontraffic) should also be included.
