Unsp pedl cyclst injured in clsn w ped/anml nontraf, init

This code describes an injury sustained by a person riding a bicycle, tricycle, or similar pedal-powered vehicle who collides with either a pedestrian or an animal. The incident occurs in an area not typically used for vehicular traffic, such as a park, sidewalk, or private property. This specific code is for the initial treatment of the injury.

Use this code when documenting the first encounter for a patient injured while cycling in a non-traffic area, such as a park path or residential driveway, and the collision involved a person on foot or an animal. Examples include a cyclist hitting a dog while riding on a trail or colliding with a pedestrian on a boardwalk.

• Ensure the documentation clearly states the incident was a collision with a pedestrian or animal, not another vehicle or a fixed object.
• Verify the accident occurred in a non-traffic area; if it was on a public road, a different code would be appropriate.
• Confirm this is the initial encounter for treatment of the injury; subsequent care would require a different encounter character.
