Ped on gliding-type ped convey colliding w statnry obj, subs

This code describes an injury sustained by a pedestrian who was using a gliding-type conveyance (e.g., hoverboard, Segway) and collided with a non-moving object. The "D" in the code indicates that this is a subsequent encounter for the injury, meaning the patient is receiving follow-up care after the initial treatment.

Use this code when a patient presents for follow-up care (e.g., cast change, wound check, physical therapy) related to an injury sustained in an accident where they, as a pedestrian on a gliding-type conveyance, hit a stationary object. This applies after the initial acute phase of treatment has concluded.

• Ensure the documentation clearly states the patient was on a gliding-type pedestrian conveyance and collided with a stationary object.
• Verify that the encounter is for follow-up care, not the initial treatment, to justify the "D" seventh character.
• Always code the specific injury (e.g., fracture, sprain) in addition to this external cause code.
