This code describes an individual who was in the process of getting on or off a three-wheeled motor vehicle and sustained injuries due to a collision with another two- or three-wheeled motor vehicle. This specific code is used for encounters following the initial treatment of these injuries.

This code is appropriate for follow-up visits, such as wound care, physical therapy, or medication management, for a patient whose initial injury was sustained while boarding or alighting a three-wheeled motor vehicle involved in a collision with another motorcycle or three-wheeler. It signifies that the patient is receiving ongoing care for the sequelae of the original accident.

• Ensure the documentation clearly indicates the patient was boarding or alighting the three-wheeled vehicle at the time of impact.
• Confirm the collision involved another two- or three-wheeled motor vehicle, not a car or pedestrian.
• Verify this is a subsequent encounter for the injury, not the initial treatment.
