Unspecified pedal cyclist injured in collision with other motor vehicles in nontraffic accident
ICD-10 V19.29 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of unspecified pedal cyclist injured in collision with other motor vehicles in nontraffic accident.
The ICD-10 code V19.29 is used to classify injuries sustained by pedal cyclists involved in collisions with motor vehicles that occur outside of traditional traffic scenarios. This may include incidents occurring in private property, parking lots, or other non-public roadways. The code is essential for capturing data on the safety of cyclists and the circumstances surrounding their injuries, which can inform public health initiatives and safety regulations. Accurate coding is crucial for understanding the epidemiology of cycling injuries and for developing targeted interventions to improve cyclist safety. Documentation should include details about the nature of the collision, the environment in which it occurred, and any contributing factors such as visibility, road conditions, or the behavior of the motor vehicle driver.
Emergency departments must document the mechanism of injury, location, and circumstances of the accident clearly.
