Pedl cyc pasngr injured in clsn w rail trn/veh in traf, init

This code describes an injury sustained by an individual who was a passenger on a bicycle, tricycle, or similar pedal-powered vehicle, involved in a collision with a train or other railway vehicle. The collision occurred on a public road or thoroughfare, and the patient is in the initial phase of treatment for the injury.

Use this code when documenting injuries to a patient who was a passenger on a pedal cycle and was struck by a train or railway vehicle in a traffic accident. This applies to the initial hospital visit, emergency department encounter, or first physician's office visit for the injury.

• Ensure the documentation clearly specifies the patient was a passenger on the pedal cycle, not the driver.
• Verify the incident occurred in a "traffic accident" context, meaning on a public roadway.
• Confirm this is the initial encounter for the injury; subsequent encounters will require a different seventh character.
