Pedl cyc driver injured in clsn w ped/anml nontraf, init

This diagnosis code describes an injury sustained by an individual operating a pedal cycle (bicycle) who collides with either a pedestrian or an animal. The incident occurs in a non-traffic environment, such as a park, sidewalk, or private property, and represents the initial medical evaluation and treatment for the injury.

Use this code when a cyclist presents for initial care after an accident where they struck a person or an animal outside of a public roadway. Examples include a bicyclist hitting a dog on a residential sidewalk or colliding with a jogger on a bike path.

• Ensure the accident occurred in a non-traffic setting; otherwise, a different V-code category would be appropriate.
• Verify the patient was the driver of the pedal cycle, not a passenger or pedestrian.
• This code is for the initial encounter; subsequent care for the same injury will require a different seventh character.
