Ped w convey injured in clsn w nonmtr vehicle, unsp, init

This code describes an injury sustained by a pedestrian who was involved in a collision with a non-motorized conveyance (e.g., bicycle, skateboard, animal-drawn vehicle) where the specific circumstances of the accident (traffic vs. non-traffic) are not documented. It signifies the initial phase of treatment for such an injury.

Use this code when a pedestrian presents with injuries resulting from an impact with another non-motorized vehicle, and the medical record does not specify if the incident occurred on a public roadway or in a private area. This code is appropriate for the first encounter for treatment of these injuries.

• Ensure the documentation clearly identifies the injured party as a pedestrian and the other party as a non-motorized conveyance.
• Only use this code for the initial treatment of the injury; subsequent encounters will require a different seventh character.
• Confirm that the documentation does not specify whether the accident was traffic-related or non-traffic-related.
