Other motorcycle passenger injured in collision with heavy transport vehicle or bus in nontraffic accident
ICD-10 V24.19 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of other motorcycle passenger injured in collision with heavy transport vehicle or bus in nontraffic accident.
This code is used to classify injuries sustained by motorcycle passengers involved in collisions with heavy transport vehicles or buses that occur outside of traditional traffic scenarios. Nontraffic accidents may include incidents occurring in parking lots, private property, or during off-road activities. The injuries can range from minor abrasions to severe trauma, including fractures, head injuries, and internal injuries. Accurate coding is essential for understanding the epidemiology of such incidents, guiding public health interventions, and ensuring appropriate resource allocation for trauma care. Documentation should clearly indicate the circumstances of the accident, the type of vehicle involved, and the nature of the injuries sustained to support the use of this specific code.
Emergency department notes should include details of the accident, patient presentation, and initial assessment of injuries.
Patients presenting with trauma after being a passenger on a motorcycle involved in a collision with a bus in a parking lot.
Ensure that the mechanism of injury is clearly documented to support the use of V24.19.
Operative reports and trauma assessments must detail the injuries sustained and the context of the accident.
Trauma cases involving multiple injuries from a motorcycle passenger collision with a heavy vehicle.
Accurate coding is critical for trauma registry data and for tracking injury patterns.
Used when a motorcycle passenger presents to the ED with injuries from a nontraffic accident.
Document the patient's history, examination findings, and treatment plan.
Emergency medicine providers should ensure that the mechanism of injury is clearly documented.
V24.19 is specifically for motorcycle passengers injured in nontraffic accidents involving heavy transport vehicles or buses, while V24.18 is for those injured in collisions with other vehicles in nontraffic scenarios.
