Ped on sktbrd injured in collision w 2/3-whl mv, unsp, init

This code signifies an injury sustained by a person riding a skateboard who was involved in a collision with a two- or three-wheeled motor vehicle. 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.

This code is appropriate when a patient presents with injuries resulting from being struck by a motorcycle, moped, or similar vehicle while they were on a skateboard. It applies to the first time the patient is seen for this particular injury. This code should be used when documentation does not clarify if the accident was traffic-related.

• Always assign an additional code for the specific injury sustained by the patient.
• Do not use this code for subsequent encounters for the same injury; instead, use the appropriate subsequent encounter or sequela code.
• Ensure documentation clearly states the patient was on a skateboard and collided with a two- or three-wheeled motor vehicle.
