Other scooter (nonmotorized) accident, subsequent encounter

This code signifies an injury or adverse health effect resulting from a non-motorized scooter accident, where the patient is receiving follow-up care after the initial treatment. It indicates that the patient is in the healing phase or undergoing further management for complications or sequelae of the original incident.

Apply this code when a patient presents for a follow-up visit related to injuries sustained in a non-motorized scooter accident, such as a cast change, wound check, physical therapy, or medication refill. This includes visits for ongoing pain management, assessment of healing progress, or addressing new symptoms directly attributable to the initial accident.

• Always pair this code with an external cause code (V00.148-) and an injury code (e.g., fracture, sprain) to fully describe the event and the resulting condition.
• Ensure the "D" seventh character is used only for subsequent encounters, not for the initial treatment of the injury.
• Distinguish carefully between non-motorized scooters (e.g., kick scooters) and motorized scooters, as different codes apply.
