Pasngr in 3-whl mv inj pk-up truck, pk-up/van nontraf, subs

This code describes a patient who was a passenger in a three-wheeled motor vehicle (e.g., a motorized rickshaw, auto-rickshaw, or three-wheeled motorcycle) involved in a collision with a car, pickup truck, or van. The injury occurred in a non-traffic accident setting, meaning it did not happen on a public roadway. This specific code is used for subsequent encounters related to the initial injury.

Use this code for follow-up visits, such as wound care, physical therapy, or re-evaluation of injuries, for a patient who sustained injuries as a passenger in a three-wheeled vehicle involved in a collision with a car, pickup, or van in a private or off-road setting. This code is appropriate when the initial injury has already been coded and the current encounter is for ongoing management.

• Always pair this external cause code with an injury code from Chapter 19 of ICD-10-CM.
• Ensure the "D" for subsequent encounter is appropriate; use "A" for initial encounter and "S" for sequela.
• Verify the accident occurred in a non-traffic setting and involved a three-wheeled vehicle as the passenger's mode of transport.
