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

This code signifies an injury sustained by an individual operating a pedal cycle (bicycle) who was involved in a collision with another motor vehicle while on a public roadway or traffic area. The injury occurred during the initial phase of treatment or encounter for this specific incident.

Apply this code when documenting injuries to a bicyclist who was struck by a car, truck, motorcycle, or other motor vehicle in a traffic accident. This is appropriate for the initial visit to an emergency department, urgent care, or physician's office following such an event.

• Ensure the documentation clearly states the patient was the driver of the pedal cycle, not a passenger or pedestrian.
• Verify the collision involved another motor vehicle and occurred in a traffic accident context.
• The "A" at the end indicates an "initial encounter," meaning this code is used for the first time the patient is seen for this injury.
