Electric (assisted) bicycle passenger injured in collision with unspecified motor vehicles in nontraffic accident
ICD-10 V29.101 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of electric (assisted) bicycle passenger injured in collision with unspecified motor vehicles in nontraffic accident.
The V29.101 code is utilized to classify injuries sustained by a passenger on an electric (assisted) bicycle involved in a collision with an unspecified motor vehicle during a nontraffic accident. This scenario typically occurs in settings where vehicles are not in motion on public roadways, such as parking lots, private property, or during recreational activities. The code captures the external cause of morbidity and mortality associated with such incidents, emphasizing the importance of documenting the circumstances surrounding the injury. Accurate coding is crucial for understanding the epidemiology of electric bicycle-related injuries and for implementing public health interventions aimed at reducing such incidents. This code is particularly relevant as the popularity of electric bicycles increases, necessitating a focus on safety measures and injury prevention strategies.
Emergency departments must document the mechanism of injury, location of the accident, and patient status (passenger vs. operator).
Patients presenting with injuries from electric bicycle accidents in nontraffic settings, such as parking lots.
Ensure that the medical record clearly indicates the type of bicycle and the nature of the collision.
Detailed trauma assessments should include the mechanism of injury and any associated injuries from the collision.
Trauma cases involving fractures or soft tissue injuries from electric bicycle accidents.
Consider the potential for multiple injuries and the need for comprehensive documentation to support coding.
Used for patients presenting with injuries from electric bicycle accidents.
Document the nature of the injury, mechanism of injury, and any treatments provided.
Emergency medicine providers should ensure thorough documentation to support the visit level.
Documenting the passenger status is crucial for accurate coding, as it determines the appropriate external cause code and helps in understanding the dynamics of the accident.
