V00.141A Fall from scooter (nonmotorized), initial encounter

ICD-10-CM Code V00.141A: Fall from scooter (nonmotorized), initial encounter

ICD-10-CM code V00.141A identifies an initial encounter for a fall from a nonmotorized scooter. The terminology record classifies this concept as an injury or poisoning, placing it under a broader parent code for nonmotorized scooter falls. Ambulatory surgery data shows this specific code was documented in patient records. 1 3 4

Plain-language overview

This code represents an injury event where a person falls from a scooter that is not motorized, specifically capturing the initial encounter for this injury. 1

What this code represents

The terminology record assigns V00.141A a semantic type of Injury or Poisoning and establishes it as an active concept within the ICD-10-CM version 2026. 1 4

V00.141A is a narrower concept under the parent code V00.141, which designates a fall from a nonmotorized scooter without specifying the encounter type. 1

Coding details

The 2018 ambulatory surgery dataset lists V00.141A as the initial encounter and V00.141D as the subsequent encounter for a fall from a nonmotorized scooter. 3

Documentation considerations

Clinical literature notes that emergency department clinicians consistently document injury circumstances and patient clinical courses, which aligns with standard metrics for reporting injury distribution. 2

Coverage and utilization context

In a 2018 ambulatory surgery dataset, V00.141A appears with a frequency of 87, while the subsequent encounter code V00.141D appears with a frequency of 2. 3

What the sources add

While the terminology record defines V00.141A as a nonmotorized scooter fall, clinical literature primarily discusses electric scooter injuries but notes similar injury patterns for non-motorised scooters. 1 2

The clinical scoping review identifies falls as a leading cause of scooter injuries, noting that upper and lower extremities are particularly vulnerable during these events. 2

Questions to verify

The supplied sources do not establish whether V00.141A is a billable code or provide specific documentation guidelines for nonmotorized scooter falls in outpatient settings. 1 3
