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

This code signifies an injury sustained by a person walking who was struck by a bicycle. The specific circumstances of the collision, such as whether it occurred on a public road or private property, are not documented or are unknown. This code is used for the initial treatment of the injury.

Apply this code when a pedestrian presents with injuries resulting from an impact with a pedal cycle, and the documentation does not specify if the incident was a traffic or nontraffic accident. This is appropriate for the first encounter for the injury, such as in an emergency department or initial clinic visit.

• Ensure documentation clearly identifies the patient as a pedestrian and the colliding vehicle as a pedal cycle.
• Only use the "A" (initial encounter) seventh character for the first time the patient is seen for this specific injury.
• If the documentation specifies traffic or nontraffic, a more specific code from the V01 series should be used.
