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

This code describes an individual who was a passenger or otherwise positioned on the exterior of a three-wheeled motor vehicle (e.g., a trike, auto-rickshaw) when it was involved in a collision with a pedal cycle (bicycle) on a public roadway. The injury sustained is being treated for the first time.

Apply this code when documenting the initial treatment for injuries sustained by a person who was an external occupant of a three-wheeled motor vehicle involved in a traffic accident with a bicycle. This includes scenarios where the individual was riding on the outside, standing on a running board, or otherwise not enclosed within the vehicle's passenger compartment.

• Ensure the patient was on the outside of the three-wheeled vehicle, not an enclosed occupant.
• Confirm the collision involved a pedal cycle and occurred in a traffic accident (on a public highway or road).
• This "A" suffix indicates an initial encounter for treatment; subsequent care would require a different seventh character.
