This code signifies an injury sustained by an individual operating a bicycle or similar pedal-powered vehicle who was involved in a traffic accident with a motorcycle, scooter, or other two- or three-wheeled motorized vehicle. It specifically indicates that the patient was the driver of the pedal cycle, not a passenger.

Apply this code when documenting the initial treatment for a cyclist injured in a collision with a motorcycle or moped on a public roadway. This includes emergency department visits, initial hospital admissions, or the first outpatient encounter for such an injury.

• Ensure the patient was the operator of the pedal cycle, not a pedestrian or passenger.
• Verify the collision involved a two- or three-wheeled motor vehicle, not a car or truck.
• Confirm this is the initial encounter for the injury; subsequent encounters will require a different seventh character.
