This code describes an individual who was an occupant, but not the driver, of a three-wheeled motor vehicle (e.g., a motorized tricycle, auto rickshaw) involved in a traffic collision with a standard passenger car, pickup truck, or van. The injury occurred during the initial presentation for care following the accident.

Apply this code when documenting injuries sustained by a passenger of a three-wheeled motor vehicle involved in a multi-vehicle collision on a public roadway. This is appropriate for the initial encounter where the patient presents for evaluation and treatment of these injuries.

• Ensure the patient was an "outside" occupant (passenger) and not the driver of the three-wheeled vehicle.
• Verify the collision involved a car, pickup truck, or van, and occurred in a traffic setting.
• This code is for the initial encounter; subsequent encounters will require different seventh characters.
