Electc bike driver injured in collision 2/3whl in traf, init

This code signifies an injury sustained by an individual operating an electric bicycle (pedal-assist or throttle-powered) who was involved in a collision with another two- or three-wheeled motorized vehicle (e.g., motorcycle, moped, motor scooter) on a public roadway. The injury is being treated for the first time.

Apply this code when documenting the initial treatment for a patient injured while driving an electric bicycle that collided with a motorcycle, moped, or similar vehicle in a traffic setting. This is appropriate for emergency department visits, initial hospital admissions, or the first outpatient encounter for the injury.

• Ensure the patient was the driver of the electric bicycle, not a passenger or pedestrian.
• Verify the collision involved another motorized two- or three-wheeled vehicle, not a car or another bicycle.
• Confirm this is the initial encounter for the injury; subsequent care will require a different seventh character.
