This code signifies an injury sustained by an individual who was an occupant (not the driver) of a three-wheeled motor vehicle involved in a traffic accident. The injury resulted from a collision with a non-moving object, and this specific code is used for follow-up care after the initial treatment.

This code is appropriate for documenting subsequent encounters for patients who were passengers on a three-wheeled motor vehicle and were injured when that vehicle struck a fixed object (e.g., a tree, pole, building) in a traffic setting. Examples include follow-up appointments for fracture management, wound care, or physical therapy related to the initial collision.

• Ensure the patient was an "occupant" and not the driver; specific codes exist for drivers.
• Verify the collision involved a "fixed or stationary object" and not another moving vehicle or pedestrian.
• Confirm this is a "subsequent encounter" for care related to the initial injury, not the initial treatment.
