Pedestrian injured in traf involving oth mv, subs

This code signifies a pedestrian who sustained injuries in a traffic collision involving a motor vehicle other than a car, pickup truck, or van, and is now presenting for follow-up care, rehabilitation, or management of complications. It indicates that the initial treatment for the acute injury has already occurred.

Apply this code for subsequent visits related to injuries sustained by a pedestrian hit by vehicles such as a bus, motorcycle, or heavy transport vehicle in a traffic accident. This includes scenarios like physical therapy, wound care, or evaluation of ongoing pain or disability after the initial hospital stay or emergency department visit.

• Always pair this external cause code with an injury code (e.g., fracture, sprain) to fully describe the patient's condition.
• Ensure the "D" seventh character is appropriate for a subsequent encounter, indicating active treatment after the initial phase.
• Verify the type of motor vehicle involved to differentiate from codes for car, pickup, or van collisions.
