Unspecified electric (assisted) bicycle rider injured in collision with other motor vehicles in nontraffic accident
ICD-10 V29.291 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of unspecified electric (assisted) bicycle rider injured in collision with other motor vehicles in nontraffic accident.
The V29.291 code is used to classify injuries sustained by riders of electric (assisted) bicycles when involved in collisions with other motor vehicles outside of traditional traffic scenarios. This may include incidents occurring in private property settings, such as parking lots or driveways, where the typical traffic rules do not apply. The code captures the external cause of morbidity and mortality related to such accidents, which can range from minor injuries to severe trauma. Accurate coding is essential for tracking injury patterns, understanding public health implications, and ensuring appropriate resource allocation for injury prevention programs. Documentation should specify the nature of the collision, the circumstances surrounding the incident, and any contributing factors such as environmental conditions or rider behavior.
Emergency departments must document the mechanism of injury, location of the incident, and any relevant patient history.
Patients presenting with injuries from collisions in parking lots or private properties.
Consideration of the patient's riding experience and helmet use may influence injury severity.
Detailed trauma assessments and descriptions of injuries must be recorded, including any surgical interventions.
Trauma cases involving fractures or head injuries from collisions.
Documentation should include the mechanism of injury and any pre-existing conditions that may affect recovery.
Used when a patient presents with injuries from a nontraffic electric bicycle accident.
Documentation must support the level of service provided, including history, examination, and medical decision-making.
Emergency medicine specialists should ensure that the mechanism of injury is clearly documented.
Use V29.291 when documenting injuries sustained by electric bicycle riders in nontraffic accidents, ensuring that the circumstances of the accident are clearly outlined in the medical record.
