Prsn brd/alit pedl cyc injured in collision w ped/anml, init

This code signifies an injury sustained by an individual who was in the process of getting on or off a bicycle when they were involved in a collision with either a pedestrian or an animal. The injury is a direct result of this specific type of impact during the boarding or alighting phase.

Apply this code when documenting injuries from incidents where a cyclist, while mounting or dismounting their pedal cycle, collides with a person walking or an animal. This includes scenarios such as a cyclist being knocked off their bike by a dog while attempting to get on, or a pedestrian running into a cyclist who is just stepping off their bike. This specific code is for the initial treatment of such an injury.

• Ensure the documentation clearly states the patient was boarding or alighting the pedal cycle at the time of impact.
• Verify the collision was specifically with a pedestrian or an animal, not another vehicle or a fixed object.
• Remember the "A" seventh character indicates an initial encounter for active treatment of the injury.
