Pedl cyc pasngr inj pick-up truck, pk-up/van nontraf, subs

This code describes an injury sustained by an individual who was a passenger on a pedal cycle (bicycle) when it collided with a car, pickup truck, or van. The collision occurred in a non-traffic environment, such as a driveway, parking lot, or private property. This specific code is used for follow-up care after the initial injury.

Apply this code for subsequent encounters related to injuries sustained in such an accident, for example, during follow-up appointments for fracture healing, physical therapy for sprains, or wound care after the initial treatment. This includes situations where the patient is presenting for complications, medication adjustments, or rehabilitation services stemming from the original incident.

• Ensure the accident occurred in a non-traffic area; otherwise, a different external cause code is required.
• Verify the patient was a passenger on the pedal cycle, not the rider, and that the other vehicle was a car, pickup truck, or van.
• Confirm this is a subsequent encounter for the injury, not the initial treatment.
