This code signifies an injury sustained by an individual riding an animal (e.g., horse, camel) when that animal or rider collides with a pedestrian or another animal. It specifically captures the initial phase of treatment for such an event.

Apply this code when documenting injuries to a person riding an animal who was involved in a collision with a person on foot or another animal. This is appropriate for the initial encounter for care related to the incident.

• Ensure the documentation clearly states the patient was an animal rider involved in a collision with a pedestrian or another animal.

• Always code additional external cause codes (e.g., place of occurrence, activity) to provide a comprehensive picture of the event.
