Motorized mobility scooter colliding w statnry obj, subs

This code indicates an injury or adverse health effect resulting from a motorized mobility scooter striking an unmoving object, such as a wall, pole, or parked vehicle. The "D" seventh character signifies 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 a patient presents for follow-up care, such as wound checks, cast changes, or physical therapy, related to an injury sustained when their motorized mobility scooter collided with a stationary object. This includes situations where the initial treatment has been completed and the patient is now in the recovery or rehabilitation stage.

• Always ensure the "D" seventh character is used for subsequent encounters, not initial treatment or sequelae.
• Code any associated injuries (e.g., fractures, contusions) separately and in addition to this external cause code.
• Verify that the collision involved a motorized mobility scooter and a stationary object.
