Pedl cyc driver injured in nonclsn trnsp acc nontraf, subs

This code signifies an injury sustained by an individual operating a pedal cycle (e.g., bicycle, tricycle) in an accident that did not involve a collision with another vehicle or object. The incident occurred in a non-traffic area, such as a private driveway, park, or sidewalk, and this specific code is for a subsequent visit related to the initial injury.

This code is appropriate for follow-up encounters for injuries resulting from incidents like falling off a bicycle in a park, being struck by a non-motorized object while cycling on private property, or losing control of a pedal cycle on a residential sidewalk without colliding with another vehicle or pedestrian. It should be used for any visit after the initial treatment for such an injury.

• Ensure the documentation clearly states the patient was the driver of the pedal cycle and not a passenger.
• Verify the accident occurred in a non-traffic area and did not involve a collision with another transport vehicle or object.
• Confirm this is a subsequent encounter for the injury; use the appropriate initial or sequela encounter code for other visits.
