This code signifies an injury sustained by an unspecified pedal cyclist involved in a traffic accident with a two- or three-wheeled motor vehicle, such as a motorcycle or moped. The "subsequent encounter" designation indicates that this code is used for follow-up care after the initial treatment of the injury.

This code is appropriate for documenting ongoing care, such as wound checks, physical therapy, or medication management, for a pedal cyclist who was injured in the described type of traffic collision. It should be used when the patient is seen for complications, healing, or recovery related to the initial incident.

• Ensure the documentation clearly states the patient is a pedal cyclist and the collision involved a two- or three-wheeled motor vehicle.
• Verify that the encounter is for follow-up care after the initial treatment of the injury.
• Always code the specific injury(ies) sustained by the pedal cyclist in addition to this external cause code.
