Ped on sktbrd injured in clsn w rail trn/veh, unsp, init

This code signifies an injury sustained by an individual who was riding a skateboard and was involved in a collision with a railway train or vehicle. The specific circumstances surrounding whether the accident occurred in a traffic or nontraffic setting are not documented. This code is for the initial treatment of the injury.

Use this code when a patient presents with injuries resulting from being struck by a train or railway vehicle while on a skateboard, and the documentation does not specify if the accident was traffic-related or not. This applies to the first time the patient is seen for this particular injury.

• Ensure documentation clearly states the patient was on a skateboard and involved in a collision with a train or railway vehicle.
• Do not use this code if the documentation specifies the accident as either traffic or nontraffic; a more specific code would be appropriate.
• Remember the "A" at the end indicates an initial encounter for the injury. Subsequent care would require different seventh characters.
