Animal-rider injured in unsp transport accident, subs encntr

This code describes an injury sustained by an individual who was riding an animal (e.g., horse, donkey) during a transport-related accident, where the specific type of transport accident is not documented. This particular code is used for encounters following the initial treatment of the injury.

Use this code for follow-up visits, rehabilitation, or further treatment of an injury that occurred when a patient was riding an animal in a transport accident, and the initial encounter for that injury has already been coded. This applies when the documentation does not specify the exact nature of the transport accident (e.g., collision with another vehicle, non-collision transport accident).

• Ensure the documentation clearly indicates this is a subsequent encounter for the injury.
• Only use this code when the specific type of transport accident is truly unspecified in the medical record.
• Always sequence this external cause code after the primary diagnosis code for the injury itself.
