Prsn brd/alit other mtrcy injured in clsn train/veh, init

This code describes an injury sustained by an individual who was in the process of getting on or off a motorcycle (other than a moped) when it was involved in a collision with a train or other railway vehicle. The injury occurred during the initial presentation for care.

This code is appropriate for documenting injuries from a motorcycle-train collision where the patient was an "other motorcycle" occupant (not a moped) and was in the act of boarding or alighting. It should be used for the first time the patient is seen for this specific injury.

• Ensure the documentation clearly states the patient was boarding or alighting the motorcycle at the time of impact.
• Verify the type of motorcycle involved was not a moped, as specific codes exist for moped occupants.
• Confirm this is the initial encounter for treatment of the injuries sustained in this incident.
