Note

• Effective April 1, 2025 — This bulletin provides coding direction for use of specific codes from the following categories:• U50 Specificity for mode of transport of person injured• U51 Specificity for mode of transport of counterpartUse this coding direction for discharges as of April 1, 2025, submitted to the Discharge Abstract Database (DAD) or National Ambulatory Care Reporting System (NACRS).BackgroundAs previously communicated, CIHI will no longer be updating ICD-10-CA v2022 to align with the World Health Organization’s (WHO) last release of ICD-10 v2019. Canadian provisional codes (U50–U99) have been made available for provisional assignment on an as-needed basis to respond to urgent or emergent health information needs. Use the codes at this block only as directed by CIHI.New coding direction for DAD and NACRSTo support surveillance and public reporting of accidents involving certain motorized pedestrian conveyance devices and motorcycles, CIHI has developed 2 categories: U50 Specificity for mode of transport of person injured and U51 Specificity for mode of transport of counterpart with codes to be used, mandatory, in certain circumstances as outlined in the below coding direction.This coding direction applies only to the following modes of transport involved in an accident:• Motorized pedestrian conveyance devices– Electric standing scooter (e-scooter)– Seated mobility scooter, motorized– Other specified electric standing motorized pedestrian conveyance devices (e.g., hoverboard, Segway®, e-skateboard, e-unicycle)• Motorcycles– Electric bicycle (e-bike)– Moped, motor scooter– Motorcycle, not otherwise specified (NOS)When a person is injured while using one of the following types of motorized pedestrian conveyance devices or motorcycles, i.e.,- Electric standing scooter (e-scooter);- Seated mobility motorized scooter;- Other specified standing motorized pedestrian conveyance device (e.g., hoverboard, Segway®, e-skateboard, e-unicycle);- Electric bicycle (e-bike);- Moped, motor scooter; and/or- Motorcycle, NOS;• Assign, mandatory,- An injury code(s) from S00–T98;- An external cause of injury code; and- The applicable code from U50 Specificity for mode of transport of person injured as a diagnosis type (3)/other problem:· U50.0 Electric standing scooter, as mode of transport for person injured (refer to examples 1, 2 and 3);· U50.1 Seated mobility motorized scooter, as mode of transport for person injured (refer to example 4);· U50.2 Other specified electric standing pedestrian conveyance device, as mode of transport for person injured (refer to example 5);· U50.3 Electric bicycle, as mode of transport for person injured (refer to example 6);· U50.4 Other specified type of motorcycle, as mode of transport for person injured (refer to example 7); or· U50.5 Motorcycle, type unspecified, as mode of transport for person injured (refer to example 8).AndWhen there is a counterpart involved in the above accident who is using one of the above-listed motorized pedestrian conveyance devices or motorcycles,• Assign also, mandatory,- The applicable code from U51 Specificity for mode of transport of counterpart as a diagnosis type (3)/other problem:· U51.0 Electric standing scooter, as mode of transport for counterpart (refer to example 6);· U51.1 Seated mobility motorized scooter, as mode of transport for counterpart;· U51.2 Other specified electric standing pedestrian conveyance device, as mode of transport for counterpart (refer to example 3);· U51.3 Electric bicycle, as mode of transport for counterpart;· U51.4 Other specified type of motorcycle, as mode of transport for counterpart; or· U51.5 Motorcycle, type unspecified, as mode of transport for counterpart.When a person who is not using one of the types of motorized pedestrian conveyance devices or motorcycles is injured by a counterpart who is using one of the following types of motorized pedestrian conveyance devices or motorcycles, i.e.,- Electric standing scooter (e-scooter);- Seated mobility motorized scooter;- Other specified standing motorized pedestrian conveyance device (e.g., hoverboard, Segway®, e-skateboard, e-unicycle);- Electric bicycle (e-bike);- Moped, motor scooter; and/or- Motorcycle, NOS;• Assign, mandatory,- An injury code(s) from S00–T98;- An external cause of injury code; and- A code from U51 Specificity for mode of transport of counterpart as a diagnosis type (3)/other problem:· U51.0 Electric standing scooter, as mode of transport for counterpart (refer to example 9);· U51.1 Seated mobility motorized scooter, as mode of transport for counterpart;· U51.2 Other specified electric standing pedestrian conveyance device, as mode of transport for counterpart;· U51.3 Electric bicycle, as mode of transport for counterpart (refer to example 10);· U51.4 Other specified type of motorcycle, as mode of transport for counterpart; or· U51.5 Motorcycle, type unspecified, as mode of transport for counterpart.General notes (apply to all above directive statements):• To assist in locating the correct external cause code in transport accidents, use the Table of Land Transport Accidents located at the beginning of Section II — External Causes of Injury Index.• When using the Table of Land Transport Accidents, pedestrian includes “user of a pedestrian conveyance device.”• Counterpart refers to a person who collided with the injured person.• Only assign a code from U50 Specificity for mode of transport of person injured and/or U51 Specificity for mode of transport of counterpart to add specificity for certain types of motorized pedestrian conveyance devices and/or type of motorcycle as described above (refer to example 11).
