Ped on rolr-skt inj pick-up truck, pk-up/van nontraf, init

This code describes an injury sustained by an individual on roller-skates who was struck by a car, pick-up truck, or van in a non-traffic setting. This implies the incident occurred off a public roadway, such as a parking lot, private driveway, or recreational area. The "initial encounter" signifies this is the first time the patient is receiving treatment for this specific injury.

Apply this code when documenting injuries from a collision between a roller-skater and a motor vehicle (car, truck, van) that took place in a non-traffic environment. Examples include a child on roller-skates hit by a car backing out of a driveway, or an individual struck in a private parking lot. It should be used for the initial visit for treatment of the injury.

• Ensure the documentation clearly specifies the patient was on roller-skates and not another type of wheeled conveyance.
• Verify the accident occurred in a "nontraffic" area; incidents on public roads require different external cause codes.
• Confirm this is the initial treatment encounter for the injury; subsequent encounters will use different seventh characters.
