Pedestrian on foot injured in collision w hv veh, unsp, init

This code signifies an injury sustained by a pedestrian who was struck by a large commercial vehicle, such as a bus or an 18-wheeler. The specific circumstances of the collision, whether it occurred on a public road or private property, are not detailed by this code. It indicates the initial presentation for treatment of the injury.

Apply this code when documentation clearly states a pedestrian was injured in a collision with a heavy transport vehicle or bus, and the encounter is for the initial treatment of the injury. This is appropriate when the specific traffic or nontraffic nature of the accident is not yet determined or documented.

• Ensure the documentation explicitly identifies the injured party as a pedestrian and the other party as a heavy transport vehicle or bus.
• Verify this is the initial encounter for the injury; subsequent encounters will require a different seventh character.
• Look for additional codes to specify the nature of the injury (e.g., fracture, contusion) and the specific location.
