This code signifies an injury sustained by the driver of a three-wheeled motor vehicle involved in a traffic accident with another two- or three-wheeled motor vehicle. The encounter being documented is not the initial treatment for the injury, but rather a subsequent visit for follow-up care, healing, or complications.

This code is appropriate for documenting ongoing care for a driver of a three-wheeled vehicle who was injured in a collision with another motorcycle, scooter, or similar vehicle on a public roadway. Examples include follow-up appointments for fracture management, wound care, or physical therapy related to the initial accident.

• 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, not a car or truck.
• Confirm this is a subsequent encounter for the injury, not the initial treatment.
