Ped on foot injured in collision w hv veh nontraf, subs

This code signifies a follow-up visit for a pedestrian who sustained injuries after being struck by a large commercial vehicle or bus in an area not designated for public traffic. This could include incidents occurring in parking lots, private driveways, or industrial sites.

Use this code for any subsequent encounter (e.g., follow-up appointments, physical therapy, wound care) related to injuries sustained in such an accident. This applies after the initial treatment for the acute injury has been rendered.

• Ensure the documentation clearly states the patient was a pedestrian and the vehicle involved was a heavy transport vehicle or bus.
• Verify the accident occurred in a "nontraffic" area, as defined by ICD-10-CM guidelines.
• Confirm this is a subsequent encounter, indicated by the "D" seventh character.
