Hi there! I'm wondering if any Medical Coding students can help me understand a coding practice question. I would email my instructor but being a long holiday weekend I'm sure I won't receive a response until Tuesday (and I would like to proceed to the exam).
I'm hung up on question #3 "Cyclist fell off a bicycle." Why is this coded to:
transportation, pedal cyclist, specified type NEC V19.88XA
instead of:
activity, bike riding Y93.55
It seems there is not enough information to assume the cyclist is riding for transportation verses as an activity. What am I missing? Is it because of the key word "cyclist" that this is coded as a transportation incident verses an activity incident? Any help would be greatly appreciated! :)

Also on the Injury and Poisoning practice codes does #3 have an incorrect answer? I came up with S52.271B but the answer sheet has answer S52.271D. This seems wrong to me, but maybe I'm wrong? If anyone is around tonight to clarify these two posts I would greatly appreciate your help.
These are both at the end of Module 1
Is this the CCW book? What are the specific question numbers? I will check back later and help answer later today if I know which ones you are working on. I do not have enough information.
Hi, Heidi!
I've posted an answer to both of your questions in the Module 1 Discussion Forum.
Instructor Debby
