Pedestrian injured in traf involving military vehicle, subs

This code signifies a pedestrian who sustained injuries in a traffic collision involving a military vehicle, and is being seen for follow-up care after the initial treatment. This indicates that the patient has already received initial medical attention for the injuries sustained in the accident.

Apply this code when a patient presents for subsequent evaluation, treatment, or management of injuries resulting from being struck by a military vehicle while on foot. This includes scenarios like follow-up appointments for fracture care, wound checks, physical therapy, or pain management related to the original incident.

• Ensure the encounter is not the initial treatment for the accident; look for "subsequent encounter" documentation.
• Verify the vehicle involved was explicitly a "military vehicle" and the injured party was a "pedestrian."
• Always code the specific injury(ies) sustained in the accident first, followed by this external cause code.
