Electric (assisted) bicycle passenger injured in noncollision transport accident in nontraffic accident
ICD-10 V28.11 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of electric (assisted) bicycle passenger injured in noncollision transport accident in nontraffic accident.
The V28.11 code is used to classify injuries sustained by passengers on electric (assisted) bicycles during noncollision transport accidents that occur outside of traffic scenarios. This includes incidents where the bicycle is involved in accidents that do not involve other vehicles or pedestrians, such as falls, mechanical failures, or accidents occurring in private property or recreational areas. Accurate coding of this scenario is crucial for understanding the epidemiology of injuries related to electric bicycles, which are becoming increasingly popular. Documentation should include details about the nature of the accident, the mechanism of injury, and any contributing factors such as environmental conditions or equipment failure. This code is essential for public health data collection and injury prevention strategies.
Emergency department notes should clearly describe the mechanism of injury, the patient's role as a passenger, and any relevant environmental factors.
Patients presenting with fractures or soft tissue injuries after falling from an electric bicycle while being a passenger.
Ensure that the distinction between operator and passenger is clear to avoid coding errors.
Trauma documentation must include detailed descriptions of the injury, the circumstances of the accident, and any pre-existing conditions that may affect recovery.
Trauma cases involving multiple injuries from a noncollision accident while riding as a passenger.
Consider the potential for co-existing injuries and the need for comprehensive coding.
Used when a passenger presents to the ED with injuries from a noncollision accident.
Document the nature of the visit, including the mechanism of injury and any treatments provided.
Emergency medicine specialists should ensure accurate coding of the visit based on the complexity of the case.
V28.11 is used for passengers injured in noncollision transport accidents, while V28.12 is for operators of electric bicycles in similar situations.
