Ped on sktbrd injured in clsn w rail trn/veh in traf, subs

This code describes injuries sustained by a pedestrian on a skateboard who was involved in a collision with a train or railway vehicle in a traffic accident. The "subsequent encounter" designation indicates that this code is used for follow-up care after the initial treatment of the injury.

Use this code for any ongoing medical care, such as wound checks, physical therapy, or medication management, for a patient whose initial injury was due to a skateboard-train collision in a traffic setting. This includes situations where the patient is seen for complications or healing progress related to the original incident.

• Ensure the encounter is for follow-up care, not the initial treatment.
• Verify the patient was a pedestrian on a skateboard and the collision involved a train/railway vehicle in a traffic accident.
• Always sequence this code after the primary injury code(s) for the specific injuries sustained.
