Pasngr in 3-whl mv injured in clsn w ped/anml nontraf, subs

This code describes an injury sustained by an individual who was a passenger in a three-wheeled motor vehicle involved in a collision with either a pedestrian or an animal. The incident occurred in a non-traffic setting, such as a private driveway or off-road area, and the patient is presenting for follow-up care after the initial treatment.

This code is appropriate for subsequent encounters when a patient is receiving ongoing treatment, rehabilitation, or follow-up for injuries sustained as a passenger in a three-wheeled vehicle. The initial injury must have resulted from an impact with a pedestrian or an animal in a location not considered a public roadway. Examples include follow-up for fractures, sprains, or internal injuries from such an incident.

• Ensure the encounter is for follow-up care; initial encounters would use the "A" seventh character.
• Verify the patient was a passenger and not the driver or an unspecifed occupant.
• Confirm the collision involved a pedestrian or an animal, and occurred in a non-traffic environment.
