ICD-10-CM code V17.4XXA identifies a pedal cycle driver injured in a traffic accident collision with a fixed or stationary object during an initial encounter. This code falls under the broader classification of pedal cyclists injured in transport accidents. The provided sources establish the code's official label and its distinction from subsequent encounters. 5 3

Plain-language overview

Code V17.4XXA is titled pedal cycle driver injured in collision with fixed or stationary object in traffic accident, initial encounter. This code is distinct from V17.4XXS, which represents a sequela of the same event. 5

What this code represents

The broader category for this code is pedal cyclist injured in transport accident. The specific mechanism for this code is a pedal cyclist injured in collision with a fixed or stationary object. 3 1

What the sources add

Source S5 provides the exact code label and encounter distinction, while source S3 provides the broader category of pedal cyclist injured in transport accident. Source S1 lists the specific mechanism of a pedal cyclist injured in collision with a fixed or stationary object. 5 3 1

Coverage and utilization context

A Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services article lists V27.41XD for an electric bicycle driver injured in collision with fixed or stationary object in traffic accident. This demonstrates that analogous transport accident codes appear in Medicare coverage databases. 6
