Pedestrian injured nontraf involving oth mv, init

This code signifies an injury sustained by a pedestrian in an incident that did not occur on a public roadway, involving a motor vehicle other than a car, pickup truck, or van. The "initial encounter" indicates that this code is used for the first time a patient is receiving active treatment for this specific injury.

This code is appropriate for documenting injuries to pedestrians struck by vehicles such as ATVs, snowmobiles, or construction equipment in private driveways, parking lots, or off-road areas. It applies when the patient is first seen for treatment of the injuries resulting from this specific type of accident.

• Ensure the accident clearly occurred in a non-traffic setting, such as a private property or off-road.
• Verify the involvement of a motor vehicle other than a standard automobile, pickup, or van.
• Confirm this is the initial visit for active treatment of the injury; subsequent visits would use a different encounter character.
