This code describes an injury sustained by a person riding a skateboard who was involved in a collision with another non-motorized vehicle. The specific circumstances of the accident, such as whether it occurred on a public road or private property, are not specified. This code is used for the initial treatment of the injury.

Use this code when a patient presents with an injury resulting from a skateboard collision with another non-motorized vehicle, such as a bicycle, scooter, or another skateboard. This applies to the first time the patient is seen for this specific injury.

• Ensure documentation clearly states the patient was a pedestrian on a skateboard and collided with a non-motorized vehicle.
• Verify that this is the initial encounter for the injury; subsequent encounters will require different seventh characters.
• Always code the specific injury sustained in addition to this external cause code.
