Pedal cycle driver injured in collision with unspecified motor vehicles in nontraffic accident
ICD-10 V19.00 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of pedal cycle driver injured in collision with unspecified motor vehicles in nontraffic accident.
This code is used to classify injuries sustained by a pedal cycle driver involved in a collision with an unspecified motor vehicle during a nontraffic accident. Nontraffic accidents can occur in various settings, such as private property or during recreational activities. The injuries may 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 incident, the type of vehicle involved, and the nature of the injuries sustained to support the use of this code.
Emergency departments must document the mechanism of injury, location of the accident, and any relevant patient history.
Pedal cyclist presenting with fractures or lacerations after a collision with a parked car on private property.
Emergency providers should ensure that the narrative clearly indicates the nontraffic nature of the accident to avoid misclassification.
Trauma documentation should include detailed descriptions of injuries, surgical interventions, and the context of the accident.
Trauma cases involving severe head injuries or fractures from a collision with a vehicle while riding on a private road.
Trauma surgeons must ensure that the coding reflects the mechanism of injury accurately to support trauma registry data.
Used when a cyclist presents to the ED with injuries from a nontraffic accident.
Document the nature of the injuries, the mechanism of injury, and any treatments provided.
Emergency medicine providers should ensure that the visit is coded accurately based on the complexity of the case.
Document the specifics of the accident, including the type of vehicle involved, the location of the incident, and the nature of the injuries sustained. This information is crucial for accurate coding and reimbursement.
