Car driver injured in collision w pedal cycle nontraf, subs

This code describes a car driver who sustained injuries in an accident involving a pedal cycle, occurring in a non-traffic area such as a parking lot or private driveway. The "D" suffix indicates this is for a subsequent encounter, meaning the patient is receiving follow-up care for injuries initially treated in an earlier encounter.

Use this code for follow-up visits, such as wound care, physical therapy, or re-evaluation of injuries, for a car driver hurt when their vehicle collided with a bicycle outside of a public roadway. This applies when the initial treatment for the injury has already been coded.

• Ensure the accident explicitly occurred in a non-traffic area, not on a public road.
• Verify the patient is the driver of the car, not a passenger or pedestrian.
• Confirm this is a subsequent encounter for the injury, not the initial treatment.
