Pedl cyc driver injured in collision w hv veh nontraf, subs

This code describes injuries sustained by an individual operating a bicycle, tricycle, or similar pedal-powered vehicle, who was involved in a crash with a large commercial vehicle (e.g., truck, bus) that occurred in an area not open to public traffic. The "subsequent encounter" designation indicates that this code is used for follow-up care after the initial treatment of the injury.

Use this code for any subsequent visits related to injuries sustained by a cyclist who collided with a heavy transport vehicle or bus on private property, such as a parking lot, private road, or industrial site. This includes follow-up appointments for wound care, fracture management, physical therapy, or medication adjustments stemming from the original incident.

• Ensure the accident occurred in a non-traffic area; otherwise, a different V-code subcategory is appropriate.
• Verify the patient was the driver of the pedal cycle, not a passenger or pedestrian.
• Confirm this is for a subsequent encounter; use the 'A' (initial) or 'S' (sequela) seventh character as appropriate for other visits.
