Person boarding or alighting an electric (assisted) bicycle injured in collision with railway train or railway vehicle
ICD-10 V25.31 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of person boarding or alighting an electric (assisted) bicycle injured in collision with railway train or railway vehicle.
The ICD-10 code V25.31 is used to classify injuries sustained by individuals who are boarding or alighting from an electric (assisted) bicycle and are involved in a collision with a railway train or railway vehicle. This code is particularly relevant in urban settings where electric bicycles are increasingly popular for commuting. The injuries can range from minor abrasions to severe trauma, including fractures and head injuries, depending on the speed of the train and the circumstances of the collision. Accurate coding is essential for tracking the incidence of such accidents, which can inform public health initiatives aimed at improving safety for cyclists and pedestrians near railway crossings. Documentation should include details about the circumstances of the accident, the type of injuries sustained, and any relevant environmental factors that may have contributed to the incident.
Emergency department notes should clearly document the mechanism of injury, including the circumstances of boarding or alighting from the bicycle and the nature of the collision.
