Occup of 3-whl mv inj in clsn w nonmtr vehicle nontraf, init

This code signifies an injury sustained by an unknown individual riding a three-wheeled motor vehicle involved in a crash with another non-motorized vehicle. The incident occurred in a non-traffic environment, such as a private driveway or parking lot, and represents the initial treatment for the injury.

This code is appropriate for documenting the initial encounter for injuries to an unspecified occupant of a three-wheeled motor vehicle following a collision with a non-motorized vehicle (e.g., bicycle, animal-drawn vehicle) that took place off a public roadway. It is used when the specific occupant (e.g., driver, passenger) is not documented.

• Ensure the documentation clearly states the incident was a collision with a non-motor vehicle and occurred in a non-traffic area.
• Only use this code when the specific occupant of the three-wheeled vehicle is not identified in the medical record.
• The "A" seventh character indicates an initial encounter for the injury; subsequent encounters will require different seventh characters.
