Ped w convey injured in clsn w rail trn/veh in traf, init

This code signifies an injury sustained by a person who was on foot, or using a non-motorized conveyance (e.g., skateboard, roller skates), when struck by a train or other railway vehicle during a traffic accident. The collision occurred in a public thoroughfare or area accessible to traffic. This is for the initial treatment of the injury.

Use this code for a patient presenting with injuries immediately following an incident where they, as a pedestrian or user of a non-motorized conveyance, were involved in a collision with a train. This applies to emergency department visits, initial hospital admissions, or the first outpatient encounter for the specific injury resulting from this type of accident.

• Always assign an external cause code (V-code) in conjunction with an injury code (S-code or T-code) to fully describe the event.
• Ensure the "initial encounter" seventh character is appropriate for the patient's first treatment for this specific injury.
• Distinguish between a pedestrian and an occupant of a conveyance; this code is specifically for pedestrians or those with other non-motorized conveyances.
