Ped on stnd electr scoot inj in w/car/trk/van, unsp, init

This code describes an injury sustained by an individual riding a standing electric scooter who was involved in a collision with a car, pickup truck, or van. The incident could have occurred on a public road or in a private area, and the specific location is not specified. This particular code is for the initial treatment of the injury.

Apply this code when documenting the first encounter for a patient injured while operating a standing electric scooter in a collision with a larger motor vehicle. This is appropriate when the documentation does not specify if the accident occurred in a traffic or non-traffic setting.

• Ensure the documentation clearly states the patient was on a standing electric scooter and involved in a collision with a car, pick-up, or van.
• Verify this is the initial encounter for the injury; subsequent encounters will use different seventh characters.
• If the traffic/nontraffic nature of the accident is known, a more specific code from the V03.0-V03.1 series should be used.
