Prsn brd/alit pedl cyc injured in clsn w oth pedl cyc, init

This code describes 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 another bicycle. The injury is acute and represents the initial treatment for this specific incident.

Apply this code when documentation clearly indicates a patient was injured while mounting or dismounting a pedal cycle, and the mechanism of injury was a collision with another pedal cycle. This is appropriate for the initial visit or active treatment phase following such an event.

• Ensure the documentation specifies "boarding or alighting" a pedal cycle, not simply riding.
• Verify the collision was specifically with another pedal cycle, not a motor vehicle or pedestrian.
• Confirm this is the initial encounter for the injury; subsequent encounters will require a different seventh character.
