Ped on foot injured in collision w roller-skater, init

This code signifies an injury sustained by an individual who was walking or standing and was struck by someone on roller skates. The injury is a direct result of this specific type of collision.

This code is appropriate for documenting the initial medical encounter for a pedestrian who presents with injuries (e.g., fractures, contusions, sprains) after being hit by a roller-skater. It should be used when the patient is the pedestrian and the incident is the primary reason for the visit.

• Always ensure the patient was the pedestrian, not the roller-skater, for this code.
• Confirm this is the initial encounter for the injury; subsequent encounters will require different seventh characters.
• Pair this external cause code with a diagnosis code describing the specific injury sustained.
