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

This code signifies an injury sustained by an individual who was riding a skateboard and was involved in a collision with a car, pickup truck, or van. The incident's location (traffic or nontraffic) is not specified, and this represents the initial treatment for the injury.

Apply this code when documentation clearly states a skateboarder was injured in a collision with a motor vehicle (car, truck, or van), and the specific traffic/nontraffic nature of the accident is unknown or not documented. This code is appropriate for the initial encounter for treatment of the resulting injuries.

• Always code the specific injury(ies) sustained in addition to this external cause code.
• Only use this code if the documentation explicitly states a "skateboard" and a "car, pick-up truck or van."
• Ensure the "A" seventh character for initial encounter is appropriate for the patient's current visit.
