This code signifies an injury sustained by an individual riding an animal (e.g., horse, camel) when that animal collides with another specified type of motor vehicle. It specifically captures the initial treatment for the injuries resulting from this particular type of transport accident.

Use this code when documenting the initial encounter for a patient who was riding an animal and was injured due to a collision with a motor vehicle other than a car, pickup truck, or van (e.g., a bus, motorcycle, or heavy transport vehicle). This applies to the first time the patient is seen for these injuries.

• Ensure the documentation clearly states the patient was an animal rider and the collision involved another specified motor vehicle.
• Confirm this is the initial encounter for the injuries sustained in this specific accident.
• Remember to code all associated injuries separately.
