Ped on foot injured in collision w rail trn/veh, unsp, init

This code describes an injury sustained by a person walking or standing on foot who was struck by a train or other railway vehicle. The specific circumstances of whether the accident occurred on a public thoroughfare (traffic) or private property (nontraffic) are not documented or are unknown. This code is used for the initial phase of treatment for such an injury.

Use this code when a pedestrian presents with injuries resulting from an impact with a train, and the documentation does not specify if the incident was a traffic or nontraffic accident. It is appropriate for the initial encounter for care, such as emergency department visits, initial hospital admissions, or the first outpatient visit for the injury.

• Ensure documentation clearly states the patient was a pedestrian and involved with a railway vehicle.
• Only use this code when the traffic/nontraffic distinction is unspecified. If known, a more specific V05.0XA or V05.1XA code should be used.
• Remember the "A" suffix indicates an initial encounter; subsequent encounters will require different seventh characters.
