Pedl cyc passenger injured in clsn w oth mv in traf, subs

This code describes injuries sustained by an individual who was a passenger on a pedal cycle (bicycle, tricycle, etc.) involved in a collision with another motor vehicle (car, truck, motorcycle, etc.) on a public roadway. The "subsequent encounter" designation indicates that this code is used for follow-up care after the initial treatment of the injury.

This code is appropriate for documenting ongoing care, such as wound checks, physical therapy, or medication management, for a pedal cycle passenger injured in a traffic accident involving another motor vehicle. It should be used after the initial emergency room visit or hospitalization for the acute injury.

• Always ensure the patient was a passenger on the pedal cycle, not the rider.
• Verify that the collision involved another motor vehicle and occurred in traffic.
• Confirm this is a subsequent encounter for the injury; use an initial encounter code for the first visit.
