Non-in-line roller-skater colliding w statnry obj, init

This code signifies an injury sustained by an individual using non-in-line roller skates who collides with a stationary object. It specifically captures the initial presentation for treatment of such an incident. This excludes injuries involving in-line skates or collisions with moving objects or other persons.

Apply this code when documenting the first encounter for a patient injured while roller skating (not in-line) and striking an unmoving object, such as a wall, tree, or parked car. This code is appropriate for emergency department visits, initial physician office visits, or hospital admissions directly following the incident.

• Ensure the documentation clearly specifies "non-in-line" roller skates to differentiate from in-line skates (rollerblades).
• Verify the collision was with a "stationary object" and not another person or moving vehicle.
• The "A" in the seventh character indicates an initial encounter; subsequent care for the same injury will require a different seventh character.
