Person boarding or alighting an electric (assisted) bicycle injured in collision with two- or three-wheeled motor vehicle
ICD-10 V22.31 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of person boarding or alighting an electric (assisted) bicycle injured in collision with two- or three-wheeled motor vehicle.
The ICD-10 code V22.31 is used to classify injuries sustained by individuals who are boarding or alighting from an electric (assisted) bicycle and are involved in a collision with a two- or three-wheeled motor vehicle. This code captures the external cause of morbidity and mortality related to such incidents, which are increasingly common as electric bicycles gain popularity. The injuries can range from minor abrasions to severe trauma, including fractures and head injuries, depending on the speed of the vehicles involved and the circumstances of the collision. Accurate coding is essential for tracking injury patterns, facilitating public health research, and ensuring appropriate reimbursement for healthcare services. Documentation should include details about the circumstances of the incident, the type of vehicles involved, and the nature of the injuries sustained.
Emergency department notes should clearly document the mechanism of injury, including details about the collision and the patient's condition upon arrival.
