This code signifies an injury sustained by an individual who was a passenger in a three-wheeled motor vehicle involved in a traffic collision with a car, pickup truck, or van. The "subsequent encounter" designation indicates that this code is used for follow-up care after the initial treatment of the injury.

This code is appropriate for documenting ongoing care, such as follow-up appointments, physical therapy, or medication management, for injuries sustained in the specified type of motor vehicle accident. It applies when the patient is returning for treatment of the original injury after the initial acute phase has passed.

• Ensure the documentation clearly states the patient was a passenger in a three-wheeled motor vehicle.
• Verify the collision involved a car, pick-up truck, or van and occurred in a traffic accident.
• Confirm this is a subsequent encounter for the injury, not the initial treatment.
