Other non-in-line roller-skating accident, initial encounter

This code signifies an injury sustained during a roller-skating activity that is not performed in a straight line (e.g., recreational skating, roller derby, artistic skating), and the skates are not inline skates. It indicates the very first time a patient is being treated for this specific injury.

Apply this code when documenting an initial encounter for an injury resulting from a fall or collision while using traditional (quad) roller skates, roller shoes, or similar non-inline roller devices. This includes injuries sustained during recreational skating, roller derby, or other non-linear roller-skating activities.

• Ensure the documentation specifies "initial encounter" for the injury.
• Confirm the type of roller skates involved were not inline skates.
• Pair with an external cause code for the specific type of injury (e.g., fracture, sprain).
