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

This code describes injuries sustained by a pedestrian who was struck by a roller-skater, specifically for follow-up care after the initial treatment. It indicates that the patient is receiving ongoing management for conditions directly resulting from this specific type of accident.

This code is appropriate for any subsequent visits related to the pedestrian-roller-skater collision, such as follow-up appointments for fracture care, wound checks, physical therapy, or medication adjustments. It should be used after the initial encounter code for the same injury has been reported.

• Always pair this external cause code with an injury code (e.g., fracture, sprain, contusion) to fully describe the patient's condition.
• Ensure the encounter type is "subsequent" (D) and not "initial" (A) or "sequela" (S) for this specific code.
• Verify that the mechanism of injury precisely matches a pedestrian struck by a roller-skater.
