Person outsd dirt bike or motor/cross bike inj in traf, init

This code signifies an individual who was a passenger or was otherwise positioned on the exterior of a dirt bike or motocross bike when involved in a traffic collision. The injury sustained is the direct result of this specific type of motor vehicle accident. This code is used for the initial treatment of the injury.

Apply this code when documenting injuries sustained by a person who was not operating but was on the outside of a dirt bike or motocross bike during a crash on a public roadway or other traffic area. This includes scenarios where the individual was a passenger, riding on the handlebars, or otherwise positioned externally at the time of impact. It is appropriate for the first encounter for treatment of the injury.

• Ensure the documentation clearly specifies the patient was on the outside of the dirt bike, not the driver.
• Confirm the accident occurred in a traffic environment, distinguishing it from off-road incidents.
• Remember the "A" suffix indicates an initial encounter for the injury.
