Person outside 3-whl mv inj in clsn w pedl cyc nontraf, init

This code describes an injury sustained by an individual who was an occupant on the exterior of a three-wheeled motor vehicle. The injury resulted from a collision with a pedal cycle (bicycle) in a location not designated for public traffic, such as a private driveway or parking lot. This specific code is for the initial treatment of the injury.

Apply this code when documenting the first encounter for a patient injured while riding on the outside of a three-wheeled motor vehicle, such as a golf cart or ATV, that collided with a bicycle. This scenario specifically excludes accidents occurring on public roads or highways.

• Ensure the accident occurred in a "nontraffic" area; otherwise, a different V-code subcategory is required.
• Verify the patient was on the outside of the three-wheeled vehicle, not an occupant inside.
• Confirm this is the initial encounter for treatment of the injury to use the "A" seventh character.
