Driver of 3-whl mv inj in clsn w 2/3-whl mv nontraf, init

This code describes an injury sustained by the driver of a three-wheeled motor vehicle involved in a crash with another two- or three-wheeled motor vehicle. The accident occurred in a non-traffic area, such as a private driveway, parking lot, or off-road setting. This specific code is for the initial treatment of the injury.

Use this code when documenting the initial encounter for a patient who was operating a three-wheeled motor vehicle (e.g., a motorized tricycle, certain ATVs) and was injured in a collision with a motorcycle, scooter, or another three-wheeled vehicle. The incident must have taken place outside of a public roadway.

• Ensure the patient was the driver of the three-wheeled vehicle, not a passenger or pedestrian.
• Verify the collision involved another two- or three-wheeled motor vehicle and not a car, truck, or fixed object.
• Confirm the accident occurred in a nontraffic environment.
