Ped on foot injured in collision w pedl cyc in traf, subs

This code signifies that a pedestrian sustained injuries in a traffic accident involving a collision with a pedal cycle, and the patient is presenting for follow-up care after the initial treatment of these injuries. This indicates that the initial injury has already been addressed, and the current encounter is for ongoing management, healing, or complications.

Apply this code for subsequent visits related to injuries sustained by a pedestrian hit by a bicycle on a public roadway. This includes encounters for wound checks, physical therapy, follow-up imaging, cast changes, or management of delayed complications stemming from the original incident. Do not use for the initial treatment of the injury.

• Always pair this external cause code with an injury code (e.g., fracture, sprain) to specify the nature of the injury.
• Ensure the encounter documentation clearly indicates follow-up care for an injury from a past traffic accident involving a pedestrian and a pedal cycle.
• Verify the "XD" seventh character is appropriate for a subsequent encounter; "XA" is for initial, "XS" for sequela.
