Ped on foot injured in collision w oth ped convey, subs

This code describes an injury sustained by a pedestrian who was struck by another pedestrian conveyance (e.g., skateboard, roller skates, scooter) during a subsequent encounter for care. The initial injury has already been addressed, and the patient is now receiving follow-up treatment, rehabilitation, or management of complications related to the original incident.

Use this code when a patient presents for ongoing care, such as physical therapy, wound care, or follow-up imaging, for an injury that occurred when they, as a pedestrian, were hit by another pedestrian-powered device. This applies after the initial acute treatment has been rendered and documented.

• Ensure the "D" seventh character is appropriate for a subsequent encounter, indicating active treatment or recovery.
• Always code the specific nature of the injury (e.g., fracture, sprain) first, followed by this external cause code.
• Verify documentation clearly states the patient was a pedestrian and the collision involved another pedestrian conveyance.
