Ped on sktbrd injured in clsn w nonmtr vehicle in traf, init

This code signifies an injury sustained by a person riding a skateboard who was involved in a traffic accident with another non-motorized vehicle. This includes incidents where the skateboarder was struck by or collided with vehicles such as bicycles, animal-drawn conveyances, or other non-motorized transport on a public roadway. It specifically denotes the initial phase of treatment for such an injury.

Apply this code when documenting the initial medical encounter for a skateboarder injured in a collision with another non-motorized vehicle (e.g., bicycle, rickshaw) on a public road or highway. This is appropriate for the emergency department visit, initial physician consultation, or first hospitalization directly following the accident.

• Ensure the documentation clearly specifies the patient was on a skateboard and the other vehicle involved was non-motorized.
• Verify the accident occurred in a traffic area, not a private property or recreational setting.
• The "XA" seventh character indicates this is the initial encounter for treatment of the injury.
