Unspecified motorcycle rider injured in noncollision transport accident in nontraffic accident
ICD-10 V28.2 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of unspecified motorcycle rider injured in noncollision transport accident in nontraffic accident.
The ICD-10 code V28.2 is used to classify injuries sustained by motorcycle riders involved in noncollision transport accidents that occur outside of traffic scenarios. This code is particularly relevant for incidents where the motorcycle rider is injured due to factors such as loss of control, mechanical failure, or environmental hazards, rather than a collision with another vehicle. Clinical documentation should specify the nature of the accident, the circumstances leading to the injury, and any relevant details about the rider's condition. Accurate coding is essential for tracking injury patterns, understanding public health implications, and ensuring appropriate resource allocation for trauma care. This code is often utilized in emergency departments and trauma centers where motorcycle-related injuries are treated, and it plays a critical role in epidemiological studies and injury prevention programs.
Emergency department notes should include a detailed account of the incident, mechanism of injury, and any pre-existing conditions that may affect treatment.
Riders presenting with fractures, lacerations, or concussions following falls or loss of control.
Ensure that the mechanism of injury is clearly documented to support the use of V28.2.
Trauma registries require comprehensive documentation of the injury, including the type of motorcycle, speed at the time of the accident, and any interventions performed.
Injuries requiring surgical intervention, such as orthopedic repairs or internal organ management.
Consider the potential for multiple injuries and the need for co-coding with other relevant injury codes.
Used when a motorcycle rider presents with significant injuries requiring immediate attention.
Detailed account of the patient's condition, treatment provided, and any consultations.
Emergency medicine specialists should ensure that the visit level reflects the complexity of the case.
Use V28.2 when the motorcycle rider is injured in a noncollision transport accident, such as losing control or mechanical failure, rather than a collision with another vehicle.
