Other mtrcy pasngr injured in clsn with hv veh in traf, subs

This code signifies that a motorcycle passenger sustained injuries in a traffic accident involving a heavy transport vehicle or bus, and this encounter is for follow-up care after the initial treatment. The injuries are a direct result of the collision, and the patient was not the driver of the motorcycle. This code is used for subsequent visits related to the initial injury.

Apply this code for any encounter after the initial visit where a motorcycle passenger is receiving ongoing treatment, rehabilitation, or follow-up for injuries sustained in a collision with a heavy transport vehicle or bus. Examples include physical therapy sessions, wound care, or follow-up appointments with specialists for fractures or internal injuries.

• Always use in conjunction with an external cause code (V00-Y99) to specify the circumstances of the injury.
• Ensure the encounter is truly "subsequent" and not the initial treatment for the injury.
• Verify the patient's role as a "passenger" and the type of vehicle involved in the collision.
