Person outsd pk-up/van inj in clsn w pedl cyc in traf, subs

This code describes injuries sustained by an individual who was positioned on the exterior of a pickup truck or van when it collided with a pedal cycle in a traffic accident. This specific code is used for follow-up care after the initial injury has been addressed.

Use this code for subsequent encounters related to injuries from a traffic accident where a person was on the outside of a pickup truck/van and was hit by a bicycle. This includes follow-up appointments for wound care, physical therapy, or monitoring of healing for injuries sustained in such an event.

• Ensure the documentation clearly states the patient was outside the vehicle.
• Verify the collision involved a pedal cycle, not another type of vehicle.
• Confirm this is a subsequent encounter for the injury, not the initial treatment.
