This code describes an injury sustained by an individual who was getting on or off a three-wheeled motor vehicle when it collided with either a pedestrian or an animal. 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.

Use this code for follow-up visits related to injuries sustained in the described accident, such as wound care, physical therapy, or medication management. It is appropriate when the patient is returning for further evaluation or treatment of the original injuries.

• Ensure the documentation clearly states the patient was boarding or alighting a three-wheeled motor vehicle.
• Verify that the collision involved a pedestrian or an animal, not another vehicle or object.
• Confirm this is a subsequent encounter for the injury, not the initial treatment.
