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

This code signifies a passenger's injury sustained in a collision involving a three-wheeled motor vehicle and a heavy transport vehicle or bus, occurring in a non-traffic setting. The "subsequent encounter" indicator specifies that this code is used for follow-up care after the initial treatment of the injury.

Use this code for patients presenting for ongoing management, follow-up appointments, or rehabilitation related to injuries sustained as a passenger in such an accident. This includes scenarios like wound checks, physical therapy for fractures, or monitoring for post-concussion syndrome.

• Ensure the patient was a passenger, not the driver, of the three-wheeled vehicle.
• Verify the accident involved a heavy transport vehicle or bus and occurred in a non-traffic area (e.g., parking lot, private property).
• Confirm this is not the initial encounter for the injury; use the appropriate initial encounter code for the first visit.
