Pedal cycle passenger injured in collision with other motor vehicles in nontraffic accident
ICD-10 V19.19 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of pedal cycle passenger injured in collision with other motor vehicles in nontraffic accident.
The ICD-10 code V19.19 is used to classify injuries sustained by a passenger on a pedal cycle involved in a collision with other motor vehicles, specifically in nontraffic situations. This may include incidents occurring in private property settings, such as parking lots or driveways, where the vehicle and cyclist are not engaged in typical roadway traffic. Accurate coding of this scenario is crucial for understanding the epidemiology of cycling injuries and for implementing public health strategies aimed at reducing such incidents. Documentation should clearly indicate the circumstances of the accident, including the location and nature of the collision, to ensure proper coding and analysis of injury patterns.
Emergency department notes must include details of the accident, including location, type of vehicle involved, and the patient's role.
Patients presenting with injuries from a collision while riding as a passenger on a pedal cycle in a parking lot.
Ensure that the mechanism of injury is clearly documented to support the use of V19.19.
Trauma notes should detail the mechanism of injury, including specifics about the collision and any surgical interventions performed.
Trauma cases involving significant injuries from a nontraffic collision while riding as a passenger on a pedal cycle.
Accurate coding is essential for trauma registries and for tracking injury patterns.
Used when a patient presents to the emergency department with injuries from a nontraffic collision.
Documentation must support the level of service provided, including details of the injury and treatment.
Emergency medicine specialists should ensure that the external cause code is linked to the appropriate visit level.
Accurate coding of V19.19 is essential for understanding the epidemiology of cycling injuries, guiding public health initiatives, and ensuring appropriate reimbursement for healthcare services.
