Assault by push/place victim in front of moving object, init

This code signifies an injury resulting from an intentional act where an individual is pushed or placed into the path of a moving object by another person. This includes scenarios where the victim is propelled towards a vehicle, a falling object, or any other object in motion, leading to trauma.

Apply this code when documentation clearly indicates an assault where the mechanism of injury involved the perpetrator actively pushing or positioning the victim in front of a moving object. This is appropriate for the initial treatment of injuries sustained from such an event.

• Ensure the documentation explicitly states the injury was due to an assault and the mechanism involved being pushed or placed in front of a moving object.
• Do not use this code for accidental injuries involving moving objects or for assaults where the victim was struck directly by the perpetrator without being propelled into another object.
• Remember the "A" seventh character denotes an initial encounter for active treatment of the injury.
