Prsn brd/alit from bus injured in collision w pedl cyc, subs

This code describes an injury sustained by an individual who was in the process of getting on or off a bus when that bus was involved in a collision with a pedal cycle. The "D" suffix indicates that this is a subsequent encounter for the injury, meaning the patient is receiving follow-up care after the initial treatment.

This code is appropriate for documenting follow-up care, such as wound checks, physical therapy, or medication management, for injuries sustained in the specified type of accident. It should be used when the patient presents for care after the initial acute phase of treatment has concluded.

• Ensure the documentation clearly states the patient was boarding or alighting from the bus at the time of the collision.
• Verify that the collision involved a pedal cycle, not another type of vehicle.
• Confirm this is a subsequent encounter for the injury, not the initial treatment.
