Other motorcycle passenger injured in collision with other nonmotor vehicle in nontraffic accident
ICD-10 V26.19 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of other motorcycle passenger injured in collision with other nonmotor vehicle in nontraffic accident.
The ICD-10 code V26.19 is used to classify injuries sustained by a motorcycle passenger involved in a collision with a nonmotor vehicle, such as a pedestrian, bicycle, or animal, in a nontraffic setting. This code is particularly relevant in cases where the incident occurs outside of traditional roadways, such as in parking lots, private property, or during recreational activities. The injuries can range from minor abrasions to severe trauma, depending on the circumstances of the collision. Accurate coding is essential for tracking injury patterns, understanding public health implications, and ensuring appropriate resource allocation for trauma care. Documentation should include details about the nature of the collision, the environment in which it occurred, and the specific injuries sustained to support the use of this code effectively.
Emergency department notes should clearly outline the mechanism of injury, patient presentation, and any immediate interventions performed.
Patients presenting with fractures, lacerations, or concussions following a motorcycle accident involving a nonmotor vehicle.
Emergency physicians should ensure that the context of the accident is well-documented to support the use of V26.19.
Trauma assessments must include detailed descriptions of the injuries and the circumstances of the accident.
Trauma cases involving significant injuries from motorcycle collisions with pedestrians or stationary objects.
Trauma surgeons should be aware of the coding implications of the accident's context and ensure comprehensive documentation.
Used when a motorcycle passenger presents to the ED with injuries from a nontraffic collision.
Documentation must include the reason for the visit, examination findings, and treatment provided.
Emergency medicine specialists should ensure that the visit is well-documented to support the level of service billed.
Use V26.19 specifically for injuries sustained by motorcycle passengers in nontraffic collisions with nonmotor vehicles. Ensure that the documentation clearly indicates the nature of the accident.
