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

This code signifies an injury sustained by an individual who was getting on or off a motorcycle (not a moped or motorized bicycle) when it collided with either a pedestrian or an animal. The "XD" suffix indicates that this is a subsequent encounter for the injury, meaning the patient is receiving follow-up care after the initial treatment.

This code is appropriate for documenting follow-up care for injuries resulting from a motorcycle-pedestrian or motorcycle-animal collision, where the injured party was in the process of mounting or dismounting the motorcycle. Examples include a patient returning for wound care, physical therapy, or a follow-up orthopedic visit after such an incident.

• Ensure the documentation clearly states the patient was boarding or alighting the motorcycle at the time of impact.
• Verify that the collision involved a pedestrian or an animal, not another vehicle or a fixed object.
• Confirm this is a subsequent encounter for the injury, not the initial treatment, to correctly apply the "XD" seventh character.
