This code describes an injury sustained by an individual who was a passenger in a three-wheeled motor vehicle involved in a traffic accident. The collision specifically occurred with another non-motorized vehicle, such as a bicycle or animal-drawn vehicle, and represents the initial treatment for this injury.

This code is appropriate for documenting the initial encounter for a patient presenting with injuries sustained as a passenger in a three-wheeled vehicle (e.g., auto rickshaw, motorized tricycle) that collided with a non-motorized vehicle on a public roadway. This includes scenarios where the patient is first seen in an emergency department or by a primary care physician for the immediate sequelae of the accident.

• Ensure the patient was a passenger and not the driver or a pedestrian.
• Verify the involvement of a three-wheeled motor vehicle and a non-motor vehicle in the collision.
• Confirm this is the initial encounter for treatment of the injuries from this specific accident.
