Pedl cyc passenger injured in clsn w hv veh nontraf, subs

This code describes injuries sustained by a passenger on a pedal cycle involved in a non-traffic collision with a large transport vehicle or bus. The "subsequent encounter" aspect indicates that this code is used for follow-up care, such as cast changes, wound checks, or physical therapy, after the initial treatment of the injury.

Apply this code when documenting ongoing care for a patient who was a passenger on a bicycle and was injured in an accident with a heavy transport vehicle (e.g., truck, semi-trailer) or a bus, and the incident occurred off a public roadway (e.g., private property, parking lot). This would be appropriate for visits related to rehabilitation, monitoring of healing, or management of complications from the initial injury.

• Always confirm the patient's role as a passenger on the pedal cycle, not the rider.
• Verify the type of opposing vehicle was a heavy transport vehicle or bus.
• Ensure the accident occurred in a nontraffic setting.
• The "D" seventh character signifies a subsequent encounter for ongoing care.
