Ped on foot injured in clsn w nonmtr vehicle, unsp, init

This code signifies an injury sustained by a person walking who was struck by a non-motorized vehicle, such as a bicycle or skateboard. The specific circumstances of the accident, whether it occurred on a public road or private property, are not documented. This code is used for the initial treatment of the injury.

Apply this code when a pedestrian presents with injuries resulting from an impact with a non-motorized vehicle, and the documentation does not specify if the incident was a traffic or non-traffic accident. This is appropriate for the initial evaluation and treatment of the patient's injuries.

• Ensure documentation clearly states the pedestrian was struck by a non-motorized vehicle.
• Only use this code for the initial encounter for treatment of the injury.
• If the traffic/nontraffic nature is known, a more specific V06 subcategory should be used.
