V28.91XA is a billable diagnosis code used to specify a medical diagnosis of unspecified electric (assisted) bicycle rider injured in noncollision transport accident in traffic accident, initial encounter.

V28.91XA is an initial encounter code, includes a 7th character and should be used while the patient is receiving active treatment for a condition like unspecified electric (assisted) bicycle rider injured in noncollision transport accident in traffic accident. According to ICD-10-CM Guidelines an "initial encounter" doesn't necessarily means "initial visit". The 7th character should be used when the patient is undergoing active treatment regardless if new or different providers saw the patient over the course of a treatment. The appropriate 7th character codes should also be used even if the patient delayed seeking treatment for a condition.

Unspecified diagnosis codes like V28.91XA are acceptable when clinical information is unknown or not available about a particular condition. Although a more specific code is preferable, unspecified codes should be used when such codes most accurately reflect what is known about a patient's condition. Specific diagnosis codes should not be used if not supported by the patient's medical record.
