Passenger in 3-whl mv injured in clsn w hv veh nontraf, init

This code signifies an injury sustained by a passenger in a three-wheeled motor vehicle involved in a non-traffic collision with a heavy transport vehicle or bus. The incident occurred outside of a public roadway, such as on private property or in a parking lot.

Apply this code when documenting injuries to a passenger of a three-wheeled vehicle (e.g., a motorized tricycle, auto-rickshaw) that collided with a large commercial vehicle or public transport vehicle. The key differentiator is that the accident did not happen on a public thoroughfare and this is the initial treatment for the injury.

• Ensure the patient was a passenger, not the driver, of the three-wheeled vehicle.
• Verify the collision involved a "heavy transport vehicle or bus" and was a "nontraffic accident."
• The "A" at the end indicates an initial encounter for care; use subsequent encounter codes for follow-up visits.
