This code describes an injury sustained by a person on roller-skates who was involved in a collision with a large commercial vehicle, such as a truck or bus. The specific circumstances of the accident, whether it occurred on a public road or private property, are not specified. This particular code is used for follow-up care after the initial treatment of the injury.

Use this code for subsequent encounters when a patient presents for ongoing management, follow-up, or rehabilitation related to injuries sustained as a roller-skating pedestrian hit by a heavy transport vehicle or bus. This includes visits for wound care, physical therapy, medication adjustments, or evaluation of healing.

• Ensure the encounter is for follow-up care, not the initial treatment of the injury.
• Confirm the patient was on roller-skates and involved in a collision with a heavy transport vehicle or bus.
• Pair this external cause code with the specific injury codes (e.g., fracture, contusion) to fully describe the patient's condition.
