What fall from bicycle ICD-10 codes can I use?
If you're looking for fall from bicycle ICD codes, you might have trouble finding them because there are no ICD-10 codes that specifically mention fall from bicycle in their names.
ICD codes refer to bicycles as pedal cycles, and falls from bicycles fall under non-collision and non-traffic accidents. Here are the ICD-10 codes for fall from bicycle you're looking for:
V18.2XXA - Unspecified pedal cyclist injured in noncollision transport accident in nontraffic accident, initial encounter
This ICD-10 code is meant to be used on a patient who got into a non-collision accident in a non-traffic setting or situation. The patient is also confirmed to be riding a bicycle. The code has an initial encounter label, which means they are currently receiving active treatment for injuries sustained from the accident.
V18.2XXD - Unspecified pedal cyclist injured in noncollision transport accident in nontraffic accident, subsequent encounter
This is the same as Item 1, but this time, there's a subsequent encounter label. This label means the patient is in the recovery phase and is still being given active/routine treatment.
V18.2XXS - Unspecified pedal cyclist injured in noncollision transport accident in nontraffic accident, sequela
This is the same as Item 1, but there's a sequela label this time. This label means the patient is dealing with the aftereffects of the problem. In this case, the problem is the injury or injuries they've sustained due to the fall from their bicycle.
Given this, this ICD-10 code should be accompanied by two other ICD-10 codes, one of which should designate the sequela's nature, while the other should describe the sequela (meaning its effects).
