This code describes a driver of a three-wheeled motor vehicle who sustained injuries in a traffic accident involving another nonmotor vehicle, such as a bicycle, animal-drawn vehicle, or pedestrian. The "D" seventh character indicates that this is a subsequent encounter for care after the initial treatment of the injury.

Use this code for follow-up visits, cast changes, medication adjustments, or therapy sessions related to injuries sustained by a three-wheeled motor vehicle driver in a collision with a nonmotor vehicle. This applies when the patient is receiving routine care during the healing or recovery phase of the injury.

• Ensure the patient was the driver of the three-wheeled motor vehicle, not a passenger or pedestrian.
• Verify the collision was with a nonmotor vehicle and occurred in traffic.
• The "D" seventh character is crucial for indicating a subsequent encounter; do not use for initial treatment or sequelae.
