Unspecified rider of other motorcycle injured in collision with car, pick-up truck or van in nontraffic accident
ICD-10 V23.29 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of unspecified rider of other motorcycle injured in collision with car, pick-up truck or van in nontraffic accident.
The ICD-10 code V23.29 is used to classify injuries sustained by riders of motorcycles that are not classified as traditional motorcycles (e.g., scooters, mopeds) when they are involved in a collision with a car, pick-up truck, or van in a nontraffic accident. Nontraffic accidents refer to incidents that occur outside of the typical roadway environment, such as private property or parking lots. This code captures the external cause of morbidity and mortality related to motorcycle accidents, emphasizing the need for accurate documentation of the circumstances surrounding the injury. It is crucial for healthcare providers to detail the specifics of the incident, including the type of motorcycle involved, the nature of the collision, and the location of the accident, to ensure proper coding and billing. Accurate coding is essential for tracking injury patterns, guiding public health interventions, and ensuring appropriate reimbursement for healthcare services rendered.
Emergency departments must document the mechanism of injury, including details about the motorcycle and the nature of the collision.
Patients presenting with injuries from motorcycle accidents in parking lots or private properties.
Emergency physicians should ensure that all relevant details are captured in the medical record to support the use of V23.29.
Trauma surgeons need to document the specifics of the injury, including the type of motorcycle and the circumstances of the accident.
Trauma cases involving riders of nontraditional motorcycles who have sustained injuries from collisions.
Accurate coding is critical for trauma registries and for understanding injury patterns in motorcycle accidents.
Used when a patient presents to the emergency department with injuries from a motorcycle accident.
Documentation must include details of the injury and the circumstances of the accident.
Emergency medicine specialists should ensure that the external cause code is linked to the appropriate injury codes.
V23.29 is used for nontraffic accidents involving unspecified motorcycles, while V23.21 is for traffic accidents involving the same type of motorcycles.
