Pedl cyc pasngr injured in clsn w oth pedl cyc nontraf, init

This diagnosis code signifies an injury sustained by an individual who was a passenger on a pedal cycle involved in a collision with another pedal cycle. The incident occurred in a non-traffic area, such as a park, sidewalk, or private property, and represents the initial treatment for the injury.

Use this code when documenting injuries to a patient who was riding as a passenger on a bicycle, tricycle, or similar pedal-powered vehicle that collided with another pedal cycle. This applies specifically to accidents occurring outside of public roadways, and for the initial visit for care.

• Ensure the documentation clearly states the patient was a passenger on the pedal cycle, not the rider.
• Verify the accident occurred in a nontraffic area to differentiate from collisions on public roads.
• Confirm this is the initial encounter for the injury; subsequent encounters will require different seventh characters.
