This code describes an injury sustained by an individual who was in the process of getting on or off a large vehicle, such as a bus or train, and was involved in a collision with a bicycle. The injury occurred during a subsequent encounter for the same condition, indicating ongoing care related to the initial incident.

Use this code for follow-up visits where a patient is receiving treatment for injuries sustained when they were struck by a pedal cycle while boarding or alighting a heavy transport vehicle. This includes scenarios like physical therapy, wound care, or medication management for injuries from such an event.

• Ensure the encounter is indeed a subsequent encounter for the injury, not the initial treatment.
• Verify the patient was actively boarding or alighting a heavy transport vehicle at the time of impact with a pedal cycle.
• Remember to also code the specific nature of the injury sustained by the patient.
