Pedestrian injured nontraf involving unsp mv, init

This code describes an injury sustained by a pedestrian who was struck by a motor vehicle in a location other than a public roadway or highway. The specific type of motor vehicle involved in the incident is not documented. This code signifies the initial treatment for such an injury.

Use this code when a pedestrian is injured by a motor vehicle in a private driveway, parking lot, or off-road area, and the type of vehicle (e.g., car, truck, motorcycle) is not specified in the medical record. It is appropriate for the very first encounter for this specific injury.

• Ensure the documentation explicitly states the incident occurred in a "nontraffic" area.
• Verify that the motor vehicle type is not identified in the clinical notes.
• Confirm this is the patient's first presentation for this injury to use the "initial encounter" seventh character.
