Passenger in pick-up truck or van injured in noncollision transport accident in nontraffic accident
ICD-10 V58.1 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of passenger in pick-up truck or van injured in noncollision transport accident in nontraffic accident.
The ICD-10 code V58.1 is used to classify injuries sustained by passengers in pick-up trucks or vans during noncollision transport accidents that occur outside of traffic scenarios. This may include incidents such as rollovers, sudden stops, or accidents occurring while the vehicle is stationary but in motion due to external forces (e.g., being struck by another object). The code is crucial for capturing the external causes of morbidity and mortality related to transportation incidents that do not involve traditional traffic collisions. Accurate coding of such incidents helps in understanding patterns of injuries, guiding public health interventions, and improving safety regulations for nontraffic transport scenarios.
Detailed account of the accident, including the mechanism of injury and vehicle specifics.
Patients presenting with injuries from rollovers or sudden stops in pick-up trucks or vans.
Ensure clarity on whether the incident was traffic-related or not, as this affects coding.
Comprehensive trauma documentation, including injury severity and mechanism.
Trauma cases involving passengers injured in nontraffic incidents.
Accurate coding is essential for trauma registries and quality improvement initiatives.
Used when a patient presents with injuries from a nontraffic accident.
Document the nature of the injuries and the circumstances of the accident.
Emergency medicine providers should ensure accurate coding to reflect the complexity of the case.
V58.1 covers injuries sustained by passengers in pick-up trucks or vans during noncollision transport accidents that occur outside of traffic scenarios, such as rollovers or being struck by external objects.
