Pedal cycle passenger injured in collision with unspecified motor vehicles in nontraffic accident
ICD-10 V19.10 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of pedal cycle passenger injured in collision with unspecified motor vehicles in nontraffic accident.
The ICD-10 code V19.10 is used to classify injuries sustained by a passenger on a pedal cycle involved in a collision with an unspecified motor vehicle during a nontraffic accident. This code is particularly relevant in scenarios where the incident occurs outside of typical roadway environments, such as in parking lots, private property, or during organized events. The injuries may range from minor abrasions to severe trauma, depending on the nature of the collision and the speed of the motor vehicle involved. Accurate coding requires detailed documentation of the circumstances surrounding the incident, including the location, type of vehicle, and the nature of the injuries sustained. This code is essential for tracking injury patterns, understanding public health implications, and facilitating appropriate treatment and resource allocation.
Emergency departments must document the mechanism of injury, location of the accident, and any relevant patient history to support the use of V19.10.
Common scenarios include a cyclist being struck by a car in a parking lot or a driveway.
Emergency physicians should ensure that all details of the incident are captured in the medical record to avoid coding errors.
Trauma surgeons need to document the extent of injuries, surgical interventions, and the context of the accident for accurate coding.
Trauma cases may involve severe injuries from collisions, requiring detailed surgical notes.
Trauma documentation should include specifics about the collision to support the use of external cause codes.
Used when a patient presents to the emergency department with injuries from a nontraffic cycling accident.
Documentation must include the nature of the injuries and the circumstances of the accident.
Emergency medicine specialists should ensure that all relevant details are captured to support the visit level.
V19.10 is used for pedal cycle passengers injured in nontraffic accidents, while V19.11 is for those injured in traffic accidents. Accurate coding depends on the context of the incident.
