Ped on foot injured in collision w 2/3-whl mv in traf, subs

This code signifies a pedestrian's injury resulting from a traffic accident involving a two- or three-wheeled motor vehicle (e.g., motorcycle, scooter, moped). It specifically indicates that the encounter is a subsequent visit for ongoing care related to the initial injury, rather than the initial presentation.

This code is appropriate for follow-up appointments, rehabilitation sessions, or any subsequent medical care provided after the initial treatment for injuries sustained by a pedestrian hit by a motorcycle or similar vehicle in a traffic accident. It should be used when the patient is returning for management of the acute injury or its sequelae.

• Ensure the documentation clearly states the patient was a pedestrian and the collision involved a two- or three-wheeled motor vehicle in a traffic accident.
• Confirm this is a subsequent encounter; for the initial encounter, a different 7th character (A) would be used.
• Always code the specific injury(ies) sustained by the pedestrian first, followed by this external cause code.
