In simple words: This code is for when someone riding a bike is hurt in an accident with a military vehicle (like a truck or jeep).It's used along with a code that describes the specific injury.

This ICD-10-CM code classifies injuries sustained by a pedal cyclist (driver or passenger) during a transport accident where a military vehicle was involved.The code is secondary; it should be used in conjunction with a code from Chapter 19 (Injury, poisoning and certain other consequences of external causes) specifying the nature of the injury.

Example 1: A cyclist is struck by a military Humvee at an intersection, resulting in a fractured femur and a concussion.V19.81 would be used alongside codes from Chapter 19 describing the fracture and concussion., A military vehicle swerves to avoid an obstacle and collides with a cyclist, causing multiple abrasions and a laceration to the arm. Codes from Chapter 19 describing these injuries would be used in addition to V19.81., During a military convoy, a cyclist is involved in a collision with a military truck, leading to a severe head injury and spinal cord damage. V19.81 is used together with codes describing the traumatic brain injury and spinal cord damage.

Detailed documentation is essential and includes a comprehensive history of the event (location, time, contributing factors, witness statements), a detailed description of all injuries, and imaging results (X-rays, CT scans, MRI) to support the diagnosis.

** This code should not be used for intentional acts of violence.If the military vehicle's actions were intentional, consider codes from Chapter 20 related to assault or intentional injury.Always ensure appropriate documentation to support coding choices.
