Ped on foot injured in collision w pedl cyc nontraf, init

This code signifies an injury sustained by a pedestrian who was hit by a bicycle in a non-roadway setting. The incident occurred in an area not typically designated for vehicular traffic, such as a sidewalk, park, or private property. This specific code is used for the initial treatment of the injuries.

Apply this code when a patient presents with injuries resulting from being struck by a pedal cycle while walking, and the accident did not occur on a public street or highway. Examples include a pedestrian hit by a cyclist on a shared-use path, in a parking lot, or on a private driveway. It is appropriate for the first time the patient is seen for these injuries.

• Ensure the documentation clearly states the patient was a pedestrian and the other party was on a pedal cycle.
• Verify the accident occurred in a "nontraffic" environment; if it was on a public roadway, a different code would be appropriate.
• Confirm this is the initial encounter for treatment of these specific injuries; subsequent care would use a different encounter character.
