This code signifies an injury sustained by an individual who was in the process of getting on or off a three-wheeled motor vehicle when it was involved in a collision with another two- or three-wheeled motor vehicle. The injury is considered an initial encounter, meaning it's the first time the patient is receiving active treatment for this specific injury.

Use this code for patients presenting with injuries resulting from an accident where they were mounting or dismounting a three-wheeled vehicle that collided with a motorcycle, scooter, or another three-wheeled vehicle. This applies to the initial phase of care, such as emergency room visits or initial hospital admissions.

• Ensure the patient was specifically boarding or alighting the three-wheeled vehicle, not simply an occupant.
• Verify the collision involved another two- or three-wheeled motor vehicle, not a car or pedestrian.
• Confirm this is the initial encounter for treatment of the injury; subsequent encounters will require different seventh characters.
