Unspecified electric (assisted) bicycle rider injured in noncollision transport accident in traffic accident
ICD-10 V28.91 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of unspecified electric (assisted) bicycle rider injured in noncollision transport accident in traffic accident.
The code V28.91 is used to classify injuries sustained by riders of electric (assisted) bicycles who are involved in noncollision transport accidents within the context of traffic incidents. This code is particularly relevant in scenarios where the rider is injured due to factors such as loss of control, mechanical failure, or environmental hazards, rather than direct collisions with other vehicles or objects. Clinical documentation should detail the circumstances of the accident, including the rider's actions, the environment, and any contributing factors. Accurate coding is essential for tracking injury patterns, understanding the epidemiology of electric bicycle-related injuries, and informing public health initiatives aimed at improving safety for cyclists. This code is part of a broader effort to categorize external causes of morbidity and mortality, which is crucial for effective public health surveillance and resource allocation.
Emergency department notes should include a detailed account of the incident, including the mechanism of injury, patient statements, and any witness accounts.
Riders presenting with injuries after falling from an electric bicycle due to loss of control or hitting a pothole.
Consideration of the rider's experience level and any pre-existing conditions that may have contributed to the accident.
Trauma documentation must include a comprehensive assessment of injuries, mechanism of injury, and any surgical interventions performed.
Patients requiring surgical intervention due to severe injuries from falls or accidents while riding an electric bicycle.
Attention to the potential for multiple injuries and the need for a multidisciplinary approach to treatment.
Used when a patient presents with injuries from an electric bicycle accident.
Documentation must reflect the nature of the visit and the injuries sustained.
Emergency medicine providers should ensure thorough documentation of the incident.
Documentation should include the specifics of the accident, such as the rider's actions, environmental conditions, and any mechanical issues with the bicycle.
