Bike path as the place of occurrence of the external cause

This code identifies a bike path as the specific location where an injury or other adverse health event occurred due to an external cause. It indicates that the patient's incident took place on a designated pathway primarily used for cycling.

Use this code when documentation clearly states that an external cause of injury, such as a fall, collision, or other accident, happened on a bike path. This applies to incidents involving cyclists, pedestrians, or others present on the bike path at the time of the event.

• Always assign with an external cause code (V00-Y99) and an injury code (S00-T88).
• Ensure documentation specifies "bike path" and not a general road or sidewalk.
• Do not use if the incident occurred on a multi-use trail where cycling is only one of many activities, unless explicitly designated as a bike path.
