Fall from oth rolling-type pedestrian conveyance, subs

This code describes an injury or condition resulting from a fall off a pedestrian conveyance that moves on wheels, such as a scooter, skateboard, or roller skates. The "D" seventh character indicates that this is a subsequent encounter, meaning the patient is receiving routine care during the healing or recovery phase of the injury.

Apply this code when documenting follow-up care for a patient who sustained an injury from falling off a rolling-type pedestrian conveyance. This includes visits for cast changes, wound checks, physical therapy, or medication adjustments related to the initial injury. It is appropriate for encounters after the initial treatment of the acute injury.

• Ensure the "D" seventh character is used only for encounters after the initial active treatment of the injury.
• Always code the specific injury sustained (e.g., fracture, sprain) in addition to this external cause code.
• Do not use this code for falls from non-rolling conveyances or for initial treatment of the injury.
