Unspecified occupant of pick-up truck or van injured in collision with other and unspecified motor vehicles in nontraffic accident
ICD-10 V59.2 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of unspecified occupant of pick-up truck or van injured in collision with other and unspecified motor vehicles in nontraffic accident.
The ICD-10 code V59.2 is used to classify injuries sustained by occupants of pick-up trucks or vans involved in collisions with other vehicles in nontraffic accidents. Nontraffic accidents refer to incidents that occur outside of public roadways, such as in parking lots or private property. This code is particularly relevant for emergency departments and trauma centers where patients may present with injuries resulting from such collisions. Common injuries may include fractures, contusions, and lacerations, which can vary in severity. Accurate coding is essential for proper reimbursement and tracking of injury patterns, which can inform public health initiatives aimed at reducing such incidents. Documentation should clearly indicate the circumstances of the accident, including the location and nature of the collision, to support the use of this code.
Emergency departments must document the mechanism of injury, location of the accident, and specific injuries sustained.
Patients presenting with injuries from collisions in parking lots or private property.
Ensure clarity in documentation to avoid misclassification and support accurate coding.
Detailed trauma assessments and descriptions of injuries are essential for accurate coding.
Trauma cases involving occupants of vehicles in nontraffic settings, requiring surgical intervention.
Consider the mechanism of injury and ensure that all injuries are documented to support coding.
Used for patients presenting with injuries from nontraffic accidents.
Document the nature of the visit, including the mechanism of injury and treatment provided.
Emergency medicine specialists should ensure thorough documentation to support the visit level.
Injuries coded with V59.2 can include fractures, contusions, lacerations, and other trauma resulting from collisions involving pick-up trucks or vans in nontraffic settings.
To ensure accurate coding, document the specifics of the accident, including the location, type of vehicle involved, and nature of the injuries. This will help differentiate between traffic and nontraffic incidents.
