Ped on rolr-skt injured pick-up truck, pk-up/van, unsp, init

This code signifies an injury sustained by an individual on roller-skates who was involved in a collision with a motor vehicle such as a car, truck, or van. The incident's location, whether on a public roadway or private property, is not specified. This code is specifically for the initial treatment of the injury.

Apply this code when documenting the first encounter for a patient who presents with injuries resulting from being struck by a car, pick-up truck, or van while they were roller-skating. This includes emergency room visits, initial physician consultations, or the first hospitalization for such an event.

• Always seek additional documentation to determine if the accident occurred in traffic or non-traffic areas for more specific coding.
• Ensure the documentation clearly states the patient was on roller-skates, not a skateboard or other similar device.
• Remember to append additional codes for the specific injuries sustained by the patient.
