Unspecified motorcycle rider injured in collision with heavy transport vehicle or bus in nontraffic accident
ICD-10 V24.2 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of unspecified motorcycle rider injured in collision with heavy transport vehicle or bus in nontraffic accident.
The code V24.2 is used to classify injuries sustained by motorcycle riders involved in collisions with heavy transport vehicles or buses that occur outside of typical traffic scenarios. This may include incidents occurring in parking lots, private property, or other non-public roadways. Such collisions can lead to a variety of injuries, ranging from minor abrasions to severe trauma, including fractures, head injuries, and internal injuries. Accurate coding of these incidents is crucial for understanding the epidemiology of motorcycle-related injuries and for implementing public health interventions aimed at reducing such occurrences. Documentation should include details about the circumstances of the accident, the type of vehicle involved, and the nature of the injuries sustained to ensure proper coding and billing.
Emergency departments must document the mechanism of injury, type of vehicle, and specific injuries sustained.
Patients presenting with trauma after a motorcycle collision in a parking lot or private property.
