This code describes an individual who was an occupant on the exterior of a three-wheeled motor vehicle and sustained injuries during a subsequent encounter with a railway train or vehicle. The incident occurred within a traffic accident context, indicating it happened on a public roadway or area open to public traffic.

Use this code for follow-up care, such as wound checks, physical therapy, or medication adjustments, for injuries sustained in the described accident. It is appropriate when the patient is presenting for treatment of the sequelae of the initial event, not the initial acute injury.

• Ensure the encounter is for follow-up care, not the initial treatment of the injury.
• Verify the patient was on the outside of a three-wheeled motor vehicle, not inside or a pedestrian.
• Confirm the collision involved a railway train or vehicle in a traffic accident setting.
