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

This code describes an injury sustained by an unidentifiable individual riding a three-wheeled motor vehicle during a non-roadway collision with either a person or an animal. The injury is being treated during a follow-up visit after the initial encounter.

This code is appropriate for subsequent encounters for patients who were injured as an unspecified occupant of a three-wheeled motor vehicle in an accident occurring off a public highway, such as in a parking lot, private property, or field, involving a pedestrian or an animal. This would include follow-up care for fractures, sprains, or other injuries resulting from such an incident.

• Requires a seventh character "D" for subsequent encounter, indicating active treatment after the initial care.
• Ensure the documentation clearly states the patient was an "unspecified occupant" and the accident was "nontraffic" involving a "pedestrian or animal."
• Do not use if the accident occurred on a public highway or if the other party involved was another vehicle.
