Unspecified rider of other motorcycle injured in collision with fixed or stationary object in nontraffic accident
ICD-10 V27.29 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of unspecified rider of other motorcycle injured in collision with fixed or stationary object in nontraffic accident.
The code V27.29 is used to classify injuries sustained by riders of motorcycles that are not classified as standard motorcycles (e.g., scooters, mopeds) when they collide with fixed or stationary objects in nontraffic settings. This may include accidents occurring in private property, parking lots, or other areas not designated as public roadways. The injuries can range from minor abrasions to severe trauma, including fractures or head injuries. Accurate coding is essential for tracking injury patterns, understanding the epidemiology of motorcycle-related injuries, and facilitating appropriate treatment and resource allocation. Documentation should include details about the circumstances of the accident, the type of motorcycle involved, and the nature of the injuries sustained.
Emergency department notes should clearly describe the mechanism of injury, type of motorcycle, and any relevant patient history.
Patients presenting with injuries from motorcycle accidents in nontraffic settings, such as parking lots or private property.
Ensure that the documentation specifies the nontraffic nature of the accident to avoid misclassification.
Trauma assessments must detail the extent of injuries and the circumstances of the accident, including the type of motorcycle.
Trauma cases involving severe injuries from motorcycle collisions with fixed objects.
Accurate coding is critical for trauma registries and research purposes.
Used when a patient presents to the emergency department with injuries from a motorcycle accident.
Document the nature of the injuries and the circumstances of the accident.
Emergency medicine specialists should ensure accurate coding to reflect the complexity of the case.
This code applies to riders of motorcycles that are not classified as standard motorcycles, including scooters and mopeds, involved in nontraffic accidents.
Traffic accidents occur on public roadways, while nontraffic accidents happen in private settings, such as parking lots or driveways.
