I am trying to write a claim for a bicycle accident in which the patient went over the handle bars and completely lost #8, and subsequently #7,9 and 10 were fractured and now being extracted with Guided Bone placement for future implant.
There's a code for everything, so what is the code for this type of accident?
Thank you

Hi Guest!
Great question. Based on what you described, here are some diagnosis coding options for you:
K03.81 - Cracked tooth K08.411 - Partial loss of teeth due to trauma, class I K08.412 - Partial loss of teeth due to trauma, class II K08.413 - Partial loss of teeth due to trauma, class III K08.414 - Partial loss of teeth due to trauma, class IV K08.419 - Partial loss of teeth due to trauma, unspecified class S02.5XXA - Fracture of tooth (traumatic), initial encounter for closed fracture S02.5XXB - Fracture of tooth (traumatic), initial encounter for open fracture S03.2XXA - Dislocation of tooth, initial encounter
As for the code for the bicycle accident - it actually depends on why he went over the handle bars for that code :) For example, if he hit a person, animal, other bike, etc or if it was non-collision.
These codes below are not specific, but so you have an idea of the categories available for bicycle (aka pdeal cycle accidents) - if you can let me know which one applies i am happy to offer you some specific coding options:
V10 Pedal cycle rider injured in collision with pedestrian or animal V11 Pedal cycle rider injured in collision with other pedal cycle V12 Pedal cycle rider injured in collision with two- or three-wheeled motor vehicle V13 Pedal cycle rider injured in collision with car, pick-up truck or van V14 Pedal cycle rider injured in collision with heavy transport vehicle or bus V15 Pedal cycle rider injured in collision with railway train or railway vehicle V16 Pedal cycle rider injured in collision with other nonmotor vehicle V17 Pedal cycle rider injured in collision with fixed or stationary object V18 Pedal cycle rider injured in noncollision transport accident V19 Pedal cycle rider injured in other and unspecified transport accidents
Hope this helps!
