Rider of mtrcy inj in trnsp acc with miltry vehicle, subs

This code describes an individual, whether a driver or passenger, who sustained injuries in a traffic accident while on a motorcycle, specifically when the collision involved a military vehicle. The "D" suffix indicates that this is a subsequent encounter for the injury, meaning the patient is receiving follow-up care after the initial treatment.

This code is appropriate for documenting ongoing care, such as wound checks, physical therapy, or medication management, for injuries sustained by a motorcyclist in a collision with a military vehicle. It should be used after the initial acute phase of treatment has concluded.

• Ensure documentation clearly states the patient was on a motorcycle and the other vehicle involved was military.
• Verify the encounter is for follow-up care, not the initial treatment, to justify the "D" suffix.
• Always code the specific injury(ies) sustained in addition to this external cause code.
