Pedal cycle driver injured in collision with heavy transport vehicle or bus in nontraffic accident
ICD-10 V14.0 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of pedal cycle driver injured in collision with heavy transport vehicle or bus in nontraffic accident.
This code is used to classify injuries sustained by a pedal cycle driver involved in a collision with a heavy transport vehicle or bus, specifically in a nontraffic accident context. Nontraffic accidents may occur in various settings, such as private property or during organized events where vehicles are present but not in typical traffic scenarios. The injuries can range from minor abrasions to severe trauma, including fractures, head injuries, or internal injuries, depending on the nature of the collision. Accurate coding is essential for tracking injury patterns, understanding public health implications, and facilitating appropriate treatment and resource allocation. Documentation should include details about the circumstances of the accident, the type of vehicle involved, and the nature of the injuries sustained.
Emergency departments must document the mechanism of injury, including the type of vehicle and the circumstances leading to the collision.
Pedal cyclists presenting with injuries after being struck by a bus while riding on private property.
Emergency physicians should ensure that all relevant details are captured to support accurate coding and billing.
Trauma documentation should include detailed descriptions of injuries, the mechanism of injury, and any surgical interventions performed.
Trauma cases involving cyclists with severe injuries from collisions with heavy vehicles.
Trauma surgeons must be aware of the coding implications of the injuries sustained and ensure that all relevant codes are applied.
Used when a cyclist presents to the ED with significant injuries from a collision.
Document the nature of the injuries and the circumstances of the accident.
Emergency medicine specialists should ensure that the visit level reflects the complexity of the case.
Traffic accidents involve vehicles operating on public roadways, while nontraffic accidents occur in private settings or organized events where traffic laws do not apply.
