This code signifies a patient who sustained injuries while getting on or off a three-wheeled motor vehicle during a collision with a heavy transport vehicle or bus, and is now presenting for follow-up care or treatment of residual effects. It indicates that the initial injury event has already been addressed, and the current encounter is for ongoing management.

Use this code for patients returning for subsequent treatment of injuries sustained in the described accident, such as wound care, physical therapy, or medication adjustments. It is appropriate for encounters after the initial acute phase of injury management.

• Ensure the documentation clearly states the patient is receiving follow-up care for injuries from the specified accident.
• Verify the patient was either boarding or alighting the three-wheeled vehicle at the time of impact.
• Confirm the collision involved a heavy transport vehicle or bus, not another type of vehicle.
