Ped on foot injured in clsn w nonmtr vehicle in traf, subs

This code signifies an injury sustained by a pedestrian who was struck by a non-motorized vehicle (e.g., bicycle, scooter, skateboard) 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.

Apply this code when documenting ongoing treatment, rehabilitation, or follow-up visits for a pedestrian injured in a collision with a non-motorized vehicle on a public roadway. This includes scenarios such as physical therapy appointments, wound care, or re-evaluation of the injury after the initial emergency room visit or hospitalization.

• Always assign an external cause code (V00-Y99) as a secondary diagnosis to provide more detail about the circumstances of the injury.
• Ensure the "subsequent encounter" seventh character is appropriate for the patient's current stage of care.
• Verify that the collision involved a non-motorized vehicle and occurred in a traffic environment.
