Struck by other hoof stock, initial encounter

This code signifies an injury sustained when a patient is struck by a hoofed animal other than a horse, cow, or pig. This includes animals like goats, sheep, deer, or llamas. The injury is a direct result of physical contact with the animal's hooves.

Apply this code for initial encounters where a patient presents with injuries (e.g., contusions, fractures, lacerations) directly caused by being kicked, trampled, or otherwise hit by a non-equine, non-bovine, non-porcine hoofed animal. This would be appropriate for a farmer kicked by a goat or a hiker struck by a deer.

• Always assign an additional code for the specific injury sustained (e.g., fracture, contusion).
• Ensure the documentation clearly specifies the type of hoof stock involved if not a horse, cow, or pig.
• Verify this is the initial encounter for treatment of this specific injury. Subsequent encounters will require different seventh characters.
