Ped on rolr-skt injured in collision w pedl cyc, unsp, init

This code describes an injury sustained by an individual who was roller-skating and was involved in a collision with a pedal cycle. The specific circumstances of the accident, such as whether it occurred on a public road or private property, are not specified. This code is used for the initial treatment of the injury.

Use this code when documenting the first encounter for a patient presenting with injuries resulting from a collision between a roller-skater and a bicycle. This applies when the documentation clearly identifies the patient as the roller-skater and the other party as a pedal cyclist, but lacks information regarding the traffic environment.

• Ensure the documentation specifies the patient was the roller-skater, not the pedal cyclist.
• Confirm this is the initial encounter for the injury; subsequent encounters will require different seventh characters.
• Look for additional codes to specify the nature of the injury (e.g., fracture, sprain) and the body part affected.
