Ped on rolr-skt injured in clsn w nonmtr vehicle, unsp, subs

This code signifies an injury sustained by a pedestrian who was on roller-skates and involved in a collision with another nonmotorized vehicle. The specific circumstances of the accident, such as whether it occurred in a traffic or nontraffic setting, are not documented. This particular code is for a subsequent encounter, indicating follow-up care for the initial injury.

Utilize this code for follow-up visits, such as wound care, physical therapy, or re-evaluation of an injury, stemming from an initial incident where a roller-skating pedestrian collided with another nonmotorized vehicle. This applies when the initial encounter code has already been reported and the patient is receiving ongoing treatment. It is appropriate when the documentation does not specify if the accident was traffic or nontraffic related.

• Ensure the encounter is truly "subsequent" and not the initial treatment for the injury.
• Verify that the patient was a pedestrian on roller-skates and the collision was with another nonmotor vehicle.
• Do not use if the documentation clearly specifies a traffic or nontraffic accident; a more specific code would then be appropriate.
