• Ensure the patient was the operator of the standing electric scooter, not a passenger or pedestrian.
• Verify the colliding vehicle was a heavy transport vehicle or bus, as other vehicle types require different codes.
• Confirm this is the initial encounter for treatment of the injury resulting from this specific accident.
