Pedl cyc pasngr injured in clsn w 2/3-whl mv in traf, init

This code signifies an injury sustained by an individual who was a passenger on a pedal cycle (e.g., bicycle, tricycle) involved in a traffic accident. The collision specifically occurred with a two- or three-wheeled motor vehicle (e.g., motorcycle, moped) on a public roadway or traffic area. This code is used for the initial treatment of the injury.

Apply this code when documenting the initial encounter for a patient presenting with injuries resulting from being a passenger on a bicycle that collided with a motorcycle on a street. This would include scenarios such as a child on a bicycle seat or an adult riding tandem with another cyclist, where the bicycle was struck by a motor scooter in traffic.

• Ensure the patient was a passenger on the pedal cycle, not the driver.
• Verify the collision involved a two- or three-wheeled motor vehicle in a traffic accident.
• This "A" suffix indicates an initial encounter for treatment; use subsequent encounter codes for follow-up care.
