Pedal cycle passenger injured in collision with other pedal cycle in nontraffic accident
ICD-10 V11.1 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of pedal cycle passenger injured in collision with other pedal cycle in nontraffic accident.
The ICD-10 code V11.1 is used to classify injuries sustained by a passenger on a pedal cycle who is involved in a collision with another pedal cycle in a nontraffic setting. This code is particularly relevant in scenarios where individuals are riding bicycles in parks, on private property, or in other non-public road environments. The injuries can range from minor abrasions and contusions to more severe trauma such as fractures or head injuries. Accurate coding is essential for tracking the incidence of such injuries, which can inform public health initiatives aimed at improving safety for cyclists. Documentation should include details about the nature of the collision, the environment in which it occurred, and the specific injuries sustained to ensure proper coding and billing.
Emergency departments must document the mechanism of injury, location of the incident, and specific injuries sustained. Detailed notes on the patient's condition upon arrival and any immediate interventions are crucial.
Common scenarios include a cyclist being struck by another cyclist in a park or during a recreational event, leading to various injuries.
Emergency physicians should ensure that the passenger's role is clearly documented to avoid confusion with operator codes.
Trauma documentation should include a comprehensive assessment of injuries, surgical interventions, and follow-up care plans. The mechanism of injury must be clearly articulated.
Trauma surgeons may encounter cases where a passenger sustains significant injuries from a collision, necessitating surgical intervention.
Trauma coding must accurately reflect the nature of the injuries and the circumstances of the accident to ensure appropriate reimbursement and data collection.
Used when a patient presents to the emergency department with injuries from a pedal cycle collision.
Documentation must include the patient's presenting complaints, examination findings, and any treatments provided.
Emergency medicine specialists should ensure that the mechanism of injury is clearly documented.
Documentation should include the specifics of the accident, the role of the individual (passenger), the location of the incident, and detailed descriptions of the injuries sustained.
