Unspecified rider of other motorcycle injured in collision with heavy transport vehicle or bus in nontraffic accident
ICD-10 V24.29 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of unspecified rider of other motorcycle injured in collision with heavy transport vehicle or bus in nontraffic accident.
This code is used to classify injuries sustained by riders of motorcycles that are not classified as standard motorcycles, such as scooters or mopeds, when they are involved in a collision with heavy transport vehicles or buses outside of typical traffic scenarios. Nontraffic accidents may occur in various settings, such as private property, parking lots, or during events. Accurate coding is crucial for understanding the epidemiology of motorcycle-related injuries and for implementing public health interventions aimed at reducing such incidents. Documentation should include details about the circumstances of the accident, the type of motorcycle involved, and the nature of the injuries sustained to ensure proper coding and analysis.
Emergency department notes should clearly outline the mechanism of injury, type of motorcycle, and any relevant patient history.
Patients presenting with trauma after a motorcycle collision with a bus in a parking lot.
Ensure that the mechanism of injury is well-documented to support the use of this specific external cause code.
Operative reports must detail the injuries sustained and the circumstances of the accident, including the type of motorcycle.
Trauma cases involving complex injuries from motorcycle collisions with heavy vehicles.
Accurate coding is essential for trauma registries and for tracking injury patterns in motorcycle accidents.
Used when a patient presents to the emergency department with injuries from a motorcycle collision.
Document the nature of the injuries and the circumstances of the accident.
Emergency medicine specialists should ensure that the external cause code is linked to the visit.
This code applies to unspecified types of motorcycles that are not classified as standard motorcycles, including scooters and mopeds.
