Other motorcycle passenger injured in collision with fixed or stationary object in nontraffic accident
ICD-10 V27.19 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of other motorcycle passenger injured in collision with fixed or stationary object in nontraffic accident.
The ICD-10 code V27.19 is used to classify injuries sustained by motorcycle passengers involved in collisions with fixed or stationary objects during nontraffic accidents. This may include incidents where a motorcycle passenger is injured after the motorcycle collides with a tree, building, or other immovable structures, outside of typical roadway traffic scenarios. Such accidents can occur in various environments, including private property or recreational areas. The injuries can range from minor abrasions to severe trauma, including fractures, head injuries, or internal injuries, depending on the nature of the collision and the protective gear worn by the passenger. Accurate coding of this scenario is crucial for understanding the epidemiology of motorcycle-related injuries and for implementing preventive measures in public health initiatives.
Emergency departments must document the mechanism of injury, including details about the collision and the type of object involved.
Patients presenting with injuries from motorcycle accidents on private property or during recreational activities.
Emergency physicians should ensure that the external cause code reflects the nontraffic nature of the accident.
Trauma surgeons need detailed accounts of the injury mechanism, including the impact force and the patient's protective gear.
Trauma cases involving motorcycle passengers with significant injuries from collisions with stationary objects.
Accurate coding is essential for trauma registries and for understanding injury patterns in motorcycle accidents.
Used when a motorcycle passenger presents to the emergency department with significant injuries.
Document the patient's condition, mechanism of injury, and any treatments provided.
Emergency medicine specialists should ensure that the visit is coded accurately based on the severity of the injuries.
V27.19 is used for motorcycle passengers injured in nontraffic accidents, while V27.11 is for those injured in traffic accidents. Accurate documentation of the accident type is essential for correct coding.
