This code describes an individual who was a passenger in a three-wheeled motor vehicle (e.g., a motorized tricycle or auto-rickshaw) and sustained injuries from a collision with another two- or three-wheeled motor vehicle (e.g., a motorcycle, scooter, or another three-wheeler). The incident occurred on a public roadway or traffic area, and the patient is presenting for initial treatment.

Apply this code when documenting the initial encounter for injuries sustained by a passenger in a three-wheeled vehicle involved in a traffic accident with another two- or three-wheeled vehicle. This is appropriate for emergency department visits, initial hospital admissions, or the first outpatient visit for such an injury.

• Ensure the patient's role is specifically documented as a "passenger" in a three-wheeled vehicle.
• Verify the collision involved another two- or three-wheeled motor vehicle, not a four-wheeled vehicle or a pedestrian.
• Confirm the "A" seventh character for initial encounter, indicating active treatment for the injury.
