Pedl cyc driver injured in clsn w 2/3-whl mv in traf, subs

This code describes a follow-up encounter for injuries 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 indicates that the patient is receiving ongoing care for these previously diagnosed injuries.

This code is appropriate for subsequent visits related to the initial injuries, such as follow-up appointments for fracture management, wound care, physical therapy, or medication adjustments. It should be used after the initial encounter code for the same incident has been reported.

• Ensure the encounter is for ongoing treatment of injuries from the specified accident, not for new conditions.
• Always pair this code with the specific injury codes (e.g., fracture, laceration) sustained by the patient.
• Verify the "D" seventh character is appropriate for a subsequent encounter, indicating active treatment or healing phase.
