This code signifies an injury sustained by an individual who was an occupant of a three-wheeled motor vehicle involved in a collision with a large transport vehicle or bus. The incident occurred in a non-traffic setting, such as a private property or parking lot, and the patient is presenting for follow-up care after the initial treatment of their injuries.

Apply this code for subsequent encounters when documenting care for injuries resulting from a non-traffic accident involving a three-wheeled vehicle and a heavy transport vehicle or bus. This includes follow-up appointments for wound care, physical therapy, or monitoring of previously diagnosed injuries.

• Ensure the documentation clearly specifies a non-traffic accident and a three-wheeled vehicle.
• Verify that the encounter is for follow-up care, not the initial treatment of the injury.
• Always code the specific injury(ies) sustained in addition to this external cause code.
