Unspecified pedal cyclist injured in collision with pedestrian or animal in nontraffic accident
ICD-10 V10.2 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of unspecified pedal cyclist injured in collision with pedestrian or animal in nontraffic accident.
The code V10.2 is used to classify injuries sustained by pedal cyclists involved in collisions with pedestrians or animals in nontraffic situations. This may include incidents occurring in parks, private properties, or other non-public roadways. The injuries can range from minor abrasions to severe trauma, depending on the circumstances of the collision. Accurate coding is essential for tracking injury patterns, understanding public health implications, and ensuring appropriate resource allocation for injury prevention programs. Documentation should include details about the nature of the collision, the environment in which it occurred, and the extent of injuries sustained by the cyclist.
Emergency department notes should clearly describe the mechanism of injury, location, and any immediate interventions performed.
Cyclists presenting with fractures, lacerations, or contusions after a collision with a pedestrian or animal.
Ensure that the documentation captures the nontraffic nature of the incident to avoid misclassification.
Detailed operative reports and injury assessments must be documented, including the mechanism of injury and any surgical interventions.
Trauma cases involving significant injuries from collisions, requiring surgical intervention.
Consider the potential for multiple injuries and the need for comprehensive coding to reflect the full extent of trauma.
Used when a cyclist presents to the ED with injuries from a nontraffic 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 specifics of the collision, the environment in which it occurred, the nature of the injuries sustained, and any relevant patient history.
