Prsn brd/alit other mtrcy inj in clsn with ped/anml, init

This code signifies an injury sustained by an individual who was in the process of getting on or off a motorcycle (other than a motor scooter, moped, or all-terrain vehicle) when that motorcycle was involved in a collision with either a pedestrian or an animal. The injury occurred during the initial phase of treatment for the incident.

Apply this code when documenting injuries from a motorcycle accident where the patient was boarding or alighting, and the impact was with a person on foot or an animal. This is appropriate for the initial visit or encounter for the specific injury resulting from this type of incident.

• Ensure the patient was specifically boarding or alighting the motorcycle, not simply a passenger or driver.
• Verify the collision involved a pedestrian or an animal, not another vehicle or a fixed object.
• Confirm this is the initial encounter for the injury; subsequent care would use a different encounter character.
