Ped on rolr-skt injured in clsn w pedl cyc in traf, init

This code signifies an injury sustained by an individual who was roller-skating and was involved in a traffic accident with a pedal cycle (e.g., bicycle). The incident occurred on a public thoroughfare or area open to public traffic, and the patient is presenting for the initial treatment of their injuries.

This code is appropriate for documenting the cause of an injury when a patient presents to an emergency department, urgent care, or physician's office after being struck by a bicycle while roller-skating in a traffic setting. It should be used for the initial encounter for treatment of the acute injury resulting from this specific type of accident.

• Ensure the documentation clearly states the patient was on roller-skates and the other vehicle involved was a pedal cycle.
• Verify the accident occurred in a traffic area, not a private property or designated recreational path.
• This "A" suffix indicates an initial encounter; subsequent care for the same injury will require a different seventh character.
