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

This code signifies an injury sustained by an individual who was a passenger on a bicycle (pedal cycle) when it collided with either a pedestrian or an animal. The incident occurred in a non-traffic setting, such as a park, sidewalk, or private property. This specific code is for the initial treatment of the injury.

Apply this code when documenting injuries to a bicycle passenger involved in an off-road or non-public roadway collision with a person or an animal. Examples include a child on a bike seat injured when the bicycle hits a dog in a backyard, or an adult passenger on a tandem bike injured when it strikes a pedestrian on a walking path.

• Ensure the patient was a passenger on the pedal cycle, not the operator.
• Verify the collision was with a pedestrian or animal, not another vehicle or fixed object.
• Confirm the accident occurred in a nontraffic environment.
