This code signifies an injury sustained by an individual who was a pedestrian or otherwise on the exterior of a three-wheeled motor vehicle during a traffic accident. The collision involved another nonmotor vehicle, such as a bicycle or animal-drawn vehicle. The "D" seventh character indicates this is a subsequent encounter for the injury.

Use this code for follow-up visits, such as cast changes, wound care, or physical therapy, for injuries initially sustained in the described accident. It is appropriate when documenting ongoing treatment for conditions resulting from the patient being on the outside of a three-wheeled motor vehicle that collided with a nonmotor vehicle.

• Ensure the "D" seventh character is appropriate for a subsequent encounter; do not use for initial care or sequelae.
• Verify the patient was on the outside of the three-wheeled motor vehicle, not an occupant.
• Confirm the other vehicle involved was a nonmotor vehicle in a traffic accident.
