This code signifies an injury sustained by an individual who was in the process of getting on or off a three-wheeled motor vehicle when it collided with a bicycle. The "subsequent encounter" designation indicates that this code is used for follow-up care after the initial treatment for the injury.

Apply this code for any subsequent medical visits, such as follow-up appointments, cast changes, or physical therapy, related to injuries sustained in the described accident. This includes scenarios where the patient is receiving ongoing treatment or monitoring for complications from the initial event.

• Ensure the documentation clearly states the patient was boarding or alighting the three-wheeled motor vehicle at the time of impact.
• Verify that the collision involved a pedal cycle, not another type of vehicle.
• Confirm this is not the initial encounter for the injury; otherwise, an 'A' or 'B' character would be more appropriate.
