Unsp pedl cyclst inj pick-up truck, pk-up/van in traf, init

This code describes an injury sustained by an individual riding a bicycle, tricycle, or similar pedal-powered vehicle who was involved in a traffic accident with a car, pickup truck, or van. The specific type of pedal cycle is not documented, and the encounter represents the initial treatment for the injury.

Use this code when documentation indicates a patient presented with injuries resulting from a collision between their unspecified pedal cycle and a car, pickup truck, or van on a public roadway. This code is appropriate for the initial visit for treatment of these injuries.

• Ensure the documentation specifies a collision with a car, pickup truck, or van, and not another type of vehicle or object.
• Confirm the encounter is the initial treatment for the injury; subsequent encounters will require a different seventh character.
• Look for documentation that clearly identifies the patient as the pedal cyclist, not a passenger in the motor vehicle.
