Pedl cyc passenger injured in clsn w hv veh in traf, init

This code signifies an injury sustained by an individual who was a passenger on a pedal cycle (e.g., bicycle, tricycle) involved in a traffic accident with a large commercial vehicle or bus. The injury occurred during the initial treatment phase following the collision.

Apply this code when documenting the initial encounter for a patient injured as a pedal cycle passenger in a motor vehicle accident involving a heavy transport vehicle or bus. This includes situations such as being struck by a bus while riding as a passenger on a bicycle, or being injured when the pedal cycle, with a passenger, collided with a large truck.

• Ensure the patient was a passenger on the pedal cycle, not the driver.
• Verify the collision involved a "heavy transport vehicle or bus" as the other party.
• Confirm this is the initial encounter for treatment of the injury.
