This code describes injuries sustained by a passenger in a three-wheeled motor vehicle involved in a traffic accident where the vehicle collided with a non-moving object. The "subsequent encounter" designation indicates that this code is used for follow-up care after the initial treatment of the injury.

Use this code for patients presenting for follow-up appointments, cast changes, wound care, physical therapy, or other ongoing treatment related to injuries sustained as a passenger in a three-wheeled vehicle that struck a fixed object in a traffic accident. This applies after the initial emergency room visit or hospitalization.

• Ensure the patient was a passenger and not the driver.
• Verify the vehicle involved was a three-wheeled motor vehicle.
• Confirm the collision was with a fixed or stationary object in a traffic accident context.
• The 7th character "D" is crucial for subsequent encounters; do not use for initial care.
