Other motorcycle passenger injured in collision with car, pick-up truck or van in nontraffic accident
ICD-10 V23.19 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of other motorcycle passenger injured in collision with car, pick-up truck or van in nontraffic accident.
The V23.19 code is used to classify injuries sustained by motorcycle passengers involved in collisions with cars, pick-up trucks, or vans that occur outside of traditional traffic scenarios. This may include incidents occurring in parking lots, private property, or during organized events where traffic laws do not apply. Accurate coding is essential for understanding the epidemiology of motorcycle-related injuries, which can inform public health initiatives and safety regulations. Documentation should specify the nature of the collision, the environment in which it occurred, and the extent of the injuries sustained. This code helps in tracking nontraffic-related motorcycle injuries, which can be crucial for developing targeted interventions and safety campaigns aimed at reducing such incidents.
Emergency department notes should clearly describe the mechanism of injury, location of the accident, and any relevant patient history.
Patients presenting with fractures, lacerations, or concussions after being a passenger on a motorcycle involved in a nontraffic collision.
Emergency physicians should ensure that the documentation reflects the nontraffic nature of the incident to support accurate coding.
Trauma notes must detail the injury patterns, surgical interventions, and the context of the accident.
Trauma cases involving significant injuries from motorcycle collisions, requiring surgical intervention.
Trauma surgeons should be aware of the coding implications of the accident type and ensure that all relevant details are captured in the operative report.
Used when a motorcycle passenger presents to the emergency department with significant injuries.
Detailed documentation of the patient's condition, treatment provided, and the circumstances of the accident.
Emergency medicine specialists should ensure that the visit level reflects the complexity of the case.
V23.19 is used for motorcycle passengers injured in nontraffic accidents, while V23.11 is for those injured in traffic accidents. Accurate documentation is essential to determine the correct code.
