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

This code signifies a patient presenting for follow-up care related to injuries sustained as a pedal cycle driver in a traffic accident involving another motor vehicle. It indicates that the initial injury has already been addressed, and the current encounter is for ongoing management, healing, or complications. The "D" suffix specifies that this is a subsequent encounter for the injury.

Use this code for office visits, physical therapy, or other follow-up appointments when the patient is recovering from injuries sustained in the described accident. This applies after the initial acute treatment phase, for example, during wound care, fracture management follow-ups, or rehabilitation sessions.

• Ensure the encounter is truly "subsequent" and not the initial treatment for the injury.
• Always code the specific injury(ies) sustained in addition to this external cause code.
• Verify the patient was the driver of the pedal cycle and involved with another motor vehicle in traffic.
