Prsn brd/alit pedl cyc injured in clsn w 2/3-whl mv, subs

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 a motorcycle, moped, or similar two- or three-wheeled motorized vehicle. This specific code is for follow-up care after the initial treatment of such an injury.

Use this code for subsequent encounters when a patient presents for ongoing management of an injury sustained while boarding or alighting a pedal cycle during a collision with a two- or three-wheeled motor vehicle. This includes follow-up visits for wound care, fracture management, physical therapy, or medication adjustments related to the initial incident.

• Ensure the encounter is for follow-up care, not the initial treatment, to justify the "D" seventh character.
• Verify the patient was on or off a pedal cycle and the other vehicle was a two- or three-wheeled motor vehicle.
• Always code the specific injury(s) first, then use this external cause code as a secondary diagnosis.
