Animal-rider injured in collision w pedal cycle, init encntr

This code describes an injury sustained by an individual riding an animal (e.g., horse, camel) when that animal collides with a pedal cycle (e.g., bicycle, tricycle). The injury is a direct result of this specific type of impact. This code is used for the initial treatment of the injury.

Use this code when documenting the diagnosis for a patient who presents with injuries sustained while riding an animal that was involved in a collision with a bicycle or similar pedal-powered vehicle. This applies to the first time the patient is seen for this particular injury.

• Ensure the documentation clearly specifies the patient was an animal-rider and the collision involved a pedal cycle.
• Verify this is the initial encounter for the injury; subsequent encounters will require a different seventh character.
• Do not use this code if the animal-rider collided with a motor vehicle or was struck by a pedal cycle while dismounted.
