Pedl cyc driver injured in collision w oth mv nontraf, init

This code signifies an injury sustained by an individual operating a bicycle who was involved in a collision with another motor vehicle. The incident occurred in a non-traffic environment, such as a parking lot or private property, and represents the initial encounter for treatment of the injury.

Apply this code when documenting an injury to a cyclist who was struck by a car, truck, or motorcycle outside of a public roadway. This is appropriate for the initial visit where the injury is first assessed and treated, provided the accident did not occur on a street, highway, or other area open to public vehicular traffic.

• Ensure the documentation clearly specifies the patient was the driver of the pedal cycle and not a passenger.
• Verify the accident occurred in a "nontraffic" area; differentiate from codes for traffic accidents.
• Confirm this is the initial encounter for the injury; subsequent care would use a different seventh character.
