This code describes injuries sustained by a passenger in a three-wheeled motor vehicle involved in a traffic collision with another non-motorized vehicle (e.g., bicycle, animal-drawn vehicle). The "D" seventh character indicates this is a subsequent encounter, meaning the patient is receiving routine care during the healing or recovery phase of the injury.

Apply this code when documenting follow-up care for a patient who was a passenger in a three-wheeled motor vehicle and was injured in a traffic accident involving a non-motorized vehicle. This includes situations like wound care, physical therapy, or medication management for injuries previously diagnosed.

• Ensure the patient's role was specifically a passenger, not the driver.
• Verify the collision involved a non-motorized vehicle, not another motor vehicle or a pedestrian.
• Confirm this is a subsequent encounter for the injury, not the initial treatment.
