Person outside 3-whl mv inj in clsn w ped/anml nontraf, init

This code signifies an injury sustained by an individual who was positioned outside of a three-wheeled motor vehicle during an impact with either a pedestrian or an animal. The incident occurred in a non-traffic setting, such as a private property or off-road area, and represents the initial presentation for this specific injury.

Apply this code when documenting injuries to a person who was, for example, standing near or leaning on a three-wheeled ATV or motorcycle when it collided with a deer on a farm, or when a bystander was struck by a three-wheeled utility vehicle that hit a dog in a parking lot. This code is appropriate for the initial medical encounter following such an event.

• Ensure the patient was outside the three-wheeled vehicle, not operating or riding in it.
• Verify the collision involved a pedestrian or an animal, not another vehicle or a fixed object.
• Confirm the accident occurred in a non-traffic environment.
