This code describes an injury sustained by an individual who was an occupant, but not the driver, of a three-wheeled motor vehicle. The injury resulted from a collision with a non-moving object, such as a tree, pole, or building, occurring outside of a public roadway. This specific code is for the initial treatment of the injury.

This code is appropriate for documenting the initial encounter for a patient who was a passenger or otherwise on the outside of a three-wheeled motor vehicle (e.g., a trike, auto-rickshaw) when it struck a stationary object. This scenario must have occurred in a private area, such as a driveway, parking lot, or field, and not on a public road.

• Ensure the accident occurred in a non-traffic setting; if it was on a public highway, a different code series would apply.
• Verify the patient was an "other occupant" and not the driver of the three-wheeled vehicle.
• Confirm this is the initial encounter for treatment of the injury; subsequent encounters will require different seventh characters.
