Unsp rider of mtrcy inj in clsn with pedl cyc in traf, init

This code describes an injury sustained by an unidentifiable passenger on a motorcycle other than a moped, who was involved in a traffic accident with a bicycle. The injury occurred during the initial presentation for care.

Apply this code when documentation indicates a motorcycle passenger, whose specific role (e.g., driver, passenger) is not specified, was injured in a collision with a pedal cycle on a public roadway. This code is appropriate for the initial treatment of the injury.

• Ensure the documentation clearly states the patient was a rider (passenger) of a motorcycle, not the driver, and that the motorcycle type is not a moped.
• Verify the collision involved a pedal cycle and occurred in a traffic accident (on a public thoroughfare).
• Confirm this is the initial encounter for treatment of the injury. Subsequent care would require a different seventh character.
