Unspecified electric (assisted) bicycle rider injured in collision with railway train or railway vehicle in traffic accident
ICD-10 V25.91 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of unspecified electric (assisted) bicycle rider injured in collision with railway train or railway vehicle in traffic accident.
The V25.91 code is utilized to classify injuries sustained by riders of electric (assisted) bicycles involved in collisions with railway trains or railway vehicles during traffic accidents. This code is essential for capturing the external causes of morbidity and mortality related to traffic incidents, particularly as the popularity of electric bicycles increases. Riders may experience a range of injuries, from minor abrasions to severe trauma, depending on the speed and nature of the collision. Accurate coding is crucial for public health data collection, injury prevention strategies, and resource allocation in emergency services. Documentation should include details about the circumstances of the accident, the type of electric bicycle involved, and the nature of the injuries sustained to ensure precise coding and facilitate appropriate care.
Emergency departments must document the mechanism of injury, type of electric bicycle, and any pre-existing conditions that may affect treatment.
