Other motorcycle passenger injured in collision with heavy transport vehicle or bus in traffic accident
ICD-10 V24.59 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of other motorcycle passenger injured in collision with heavy transport vehicle or bus in traffic accident.
This code is used to classify injuries sustained by motorcycle passengers involved in collisions with heavy transport vehicles or buses during traffic accidents. Such incidents often result in severe injuries due to the significant weight and size difference between motorcycles and heavy vehicles. Common injuries may include fractures, traumatic brain injuries, and soft tissue injuries. Accurate coding is essential for tracking morbidity and mortality associated with motorcycle accidents, which can inform public health initiatives and traffic safety regulations. Documentation should include details about the circumstances of the accident, the type of vehicle involved, and the specific injuries sustained to ensure proper coding and facilitate appropriate care.
Emergency department notes should clearly document the mechanism of injury, patient presentation, and any immediate interventions.
Patients presenting with trauma after a motorcycle accident involving a bus or heavy vehicle.
