Ped w convey injured in collision w hv veh in traf, init

This code describes an injury sustained by a pedestrian who was struck by a heavy transport vehicle (e.g., truck, semi-trailer) or a bus during a traffic accident. The pedestrian was also in some form of "other conveyance," which could include a skateboard, roller skates, or a push scooter, but not a bicycle or motorcycle. This code is specifically for the initial encounter for treatment of the injury.

Use this code when documenting the initial treatment for a pedestrian injured in a collision with a large commercial vehicle or bus, where the pedestrian was using a non-motorized, non-bicycle conveyance. This applies to emergency department visits, initial hospital admissions, or the first outpatient visit for the injury.

• Ensure the "other conveyance" is accurately documented and does not fall under codes for bicycles or motorcycles.
• Confirm the striking vehicle was a heavy transport vehicle or bus, not a car or light truck.
• Always use this code for the initial encounter; subsequent care will require a different seventh character.
