AS A PROFEE RAD CODER I WOULD ASSIGN Z04.1.
YOU CAN ALSO LOOK AT T14.90XA IF NO INJURY SITE IS SPECIFIED FOLLOWED BY EXTERNAL CAUSE CODES, IF YOUR GROUP ASSIGNS THOSE.

Sounds like they want an external cause code. If you don't have a current I10CM book for some reason, the CDC has a free tool here. https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/icd/icd-10-cm/index.html#cdc_generic_section_4-find-icd-10-cm-codes

V23.99XA Unspecified rider of other motorcycle injured in collision with car, pick-up truck or van in traffic accident, initial encounter or V23.49XA Other motorcycle driver injured in collision with car, pick-up truck or van in traffic accident, initial encounter - we can use this. I hope it helps
