This code identifies an individual who was a passenger on a motorcycle and sustained injuries from a collision with another motor vehicle in a traffic accident. The specific type of motor vehicle involved is not specified. This particular code is used for subsequent encounters for the injury, indicating ongoing care after the initial treatment.

This code is appropriate for follow-up visits, such as wound care, physical therapy, or re-evaluation of injuries, for a motorcycle passenger involved in a traffic collision. It should be used when the initial injury has already been coded and the patient is receiving continued treatment for the sequelae of the accident.

• Ensure the encounter is for subsequent care, not the initial treatment of the injury.
• Verify the patient was a passenger on a motorcycle and the collision involved another unspecified motor vehicle.
• Pair this code with the specific injury codes (e.g., fracture, contusion) sustained by the patient.
