Driver of pick-up truck or van injured in collision with other motor vehicles in nontraffic accident
ICD-10 V59.09 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of driver of pick-up truck or van injured in collision with other motor vehicles in nontraffic accident.
This code is used to classify injuries sustained by the driver of a pick-up truck or van involved in a collision with other motor vehicles that occurs outside of traditional traffic scenarios, such as in parking lots or private property. Nontraffic accidents can include incidents where vehicles are in motion but not on public roadways, such as collisions in driveways or during loading and unloading activities. Accurate coding requires a thorough understanding of the circumstances surrounding the accident, including the location and nature of the collision. Documentation should detail the specifics of the incident to ensure proper coding and to capture the external cause of morbidity accurately.
Emergency department notes should include details of the accident, mechanism of injury, and any immediate interventions performed.
Patients presenting with injuries from collisions in parking lots or during vehicle maneuvers in nontraffic settings.
Ensure that the mechanism of injury is clearly documented to support the use of V59.09.
Trauma documentation must include a detailed account of the incident, including the type of vehicle, speed, and nature of the collision.
Trauma cases involving multiple injuries from nontraffic vehicle collisions.
Consider the potential for additional injuries that may require separate coding.
Used when a patient presents to the emergency department with injuries from a nontraffic vehicle collision.
Document the nature of the injuries and the circumstances of the accident.
Emergency medicine providers should ensure that the mechanism of injury is clearly stated.
Traffic accidents occur on public roadways and involve vehicles in motion on those roads, while nontraffic accidents occur in private settings or areas not designated as public roadways.
