Unsp pedl cyclst inj in clsn w rail trn/veh in traf, init

This code signifies an injury sustained by an unspecified individual riding a bicycle, tricycle, or similar pedal-powered vehicle, resulting from a collision with a train or other railway equipment. The incident occurred within a traffic environment, and this code is specifically for the initial treatment of the injury.

Apply this code when documentation indicates a patient, whose specific role (e.g., driver, passenger) on a pedal cycle is not detailed, was injured in a crash involving a train. This is appropriate for the first encounter for treatment of injuries sustained in such an accident occurring on a public roadway or railway crossing.

• Ensure the documentation explicitly states the collision involved a pedal cycle and a railway train/vehicle.
• Verify that the encounter is for the initial treatment of the injury. Subsequent encounters will require a different seventh character.
• Confirm that the patient's specific role on the pedal cycle (e.g., driver, passenger) is not specified in the medical record.
