Prsn brd/alit a 3-whl mv injured in collision w hv veh, init

This code describes an individual who was either getting on or off a three-wheeled motor vehicle (e.g., a motorized tricycle, auto rickshaw) at the time they sustained injuries from a collision with a large commercial vehicle, such as a semi-truck, tractor-trailer, or passenger bus. It specifically indicates the initial phase of treatment for these injuries.

Apply this code when documentation clearly states a patient was injured while boarding or alighting a three-wheeled motor vehicle that was involved in a crash with a heavy transport vehicle or bus. This is appropriate for the emergency department visit or initial hospitalization following the incident.

• Ensure the documentation specifies the patient's activity (boarding/alighting) and the types of vehicles involved.
• Verify that the colliding vehicle is explicitly a "heavy transport vehicle" or "bus" and not another type of vehicle.
• Remember the "A" at the end signifies an initial encounter for care related to this specific injury.
