Person outsd 3-whl mv inj in clsn w 2/3-whl mv in traf, subs

This code signifies an injury sustained by an individual who was not inside a three-wheeled motor vehicle but was involved in a collision with another two- or three-wheeled motor vehicle. The incident occurred in a traffic setting, and the patient is presenting for follow-up care after the initial treatment.

This code is appropriate for subsequent encounters related to injuries sustained by pedestrians, cyclists, or individuals otherwise outside a three-wheeled vehicle, when that vehicle was involved in a traffic collision with another motorcycle or three-wheeled vehicle. It applies to situations like a pedestrian being struck by a three-wheeled vehicle that was simultaneously hit by a motorcycle.

• Ensure the documentation clearly states the patient was "outside" the three-wheeled vehicle, not an occupant.
• Verify the collision involved two distinct two- or three-wheeled motor vehicles.
• Confirm this is a subsequent encounter for the injury, not the initial treatment.
