This code describes an injury sustained by a passenger on a motorcycle when the motorcycle was involved in a non-impact incident on a public roadway. This means the injury occurred due to an event like a sudden stop, swerving, or falling from the motorcycle without colliding with another vehicle or object. The "initial encounter" signifies the patient is receiving active treatment for this specific injury.

Apply this code when documenting injuries to a motorcycle passenger who was hurt in a single-vehicle incident on a public road, such as being thrown from the motorcycle when the driver lost control without hitting anything. This is appropriate for the initial phase of treatment for the injury. Do not use if the motorcycle collided with another vehicle or a stationary object.

• Ensure the documentation clearly states the patient was a passenger on the motorcycle.
• Verify the accident was a noncollision event (e.g., overturn, fall from vehicle) and occurred in traffic.
• Confirm this is the initial encounter for treatment of the injury. Subsequent care would use a different encounter character.
