Unsp electc bike rider inj in clsn oth non-mv in traf, init

This code signifies an injury sustained by an individual riding an electric-assisted bicycle who was involved in a traffic collision with another non-motorized vehicle. The specific type of electric bicycle is not documented, and this encounter represents the initial treatment for the injury.

Apply this code when a patient presents with injuries resulting from an accident where they were riding an electric bicycle (e.g., e-bike, pedelec) and collided with another non-motorized vehicle, such as a traditional bicycle, skateboard, or scooter, on a public roadway. This code is appropriate for the initial visit for evaluation and treatment of these injuries.

• Ensure the documentation specifies an electric-assisted bicycle, not a traditional bicycle, and that the collision was with another non-motor vehicle.
• Verify the encounter is the initial treatment for the injury; subsequent encounters will require different seventh characters.
• Always code the specific injury(ies) sustained in addition to this external cause code.
