In simple words: The code represents a fall from a non-motorized scooter leading to an injury.

Fall from a nonmotorized scooter. This code should be used as a secondary code to a code from another chapter indicating the nature of the injury.

Example 1: A patient was riding a nonmotorized scooter when they hit a pothole and fell, resulting in a fractured wrist. The primary code would be for the fracture (e.g., S52.502A Unspecified fracture of lower end of right radius, initial encounter for closed fracture), and V00.141 would be the secondary code indicating the cause of the injury., A child was playing on their nonmotorized scooter on the sidewalk when they lost control and fell, scraping their knee. The primary code would be for the abrasion (e.g., S80.011A Abrasion of right knee, initial encounter), and V00.141 would be the secondary code., An elderly individual was using a nonmotorized scooter for mobility when they tripped on a curb and fell, suffering a hip contusion. The primary code would be for the contusion (e.g., S70.02XA Contusion of right hip, initial encounter), and V00.141 would be the secondary code.

Documentation should include the type of scooter (nonmotorized), the circumstances leading to the fall, and the specific injuries sustained.

** This code excludes falls from motorized scooters (V20-V29). Additional codes may be used to identify specific details like place of occurrence (Y92.-) or activity (Y93.-).
