Unsp pedl cyclst inj in clsn w nonmtr vehicle in traf, init

This code describes an injury sustained by a person riding a bicycle or similar pedal-powered vehicle who was involved in a traffic accident with another non-motorized vehicle. The specific type of non-motorized vehicle (e.g., another bicycle, skateboard, pedestrian) is not documented, and the injury is in its initial phase of treatment.

Use this code when a patient presents with an injury resulting from a collision between their pedal cycle and another non-motorized vehicle on a public road or thoroughfare, and the exact nature of the other non-motorized vehicle is unknown or unspecified in the medical record. This code is appropriate for the initial encounter for treatment of the injury.

• Always assign an external cause code (V00-Y99) in conjunction with an injury code.
• Ensure documentation clearly states the patient was a pedal cyclist and the collision involved another non-motorized vehicle in a traffic accident.
• Verify the encounter is for the initial treatment of the injury to use the "A" seventh character.
