Occup of 3-whl mv inj in clsn w statnry object in traf, init

This code signifies an injury sustained by an individual riding in or on a three-wheeled motor vehicle (e.g., a motorized tricycle, auto rickshaw) when that vehicle collides with an immovable object like a tree, pole, or building. The specific role of the injured person within the vehicle (driver, passenger) is not documented. The incident occurred on a public roadway or area open to traffic.

Apply this code when documentation clearly states an unspecified occupant of a three-wheeled motor vehicle was injured in a traffic accident involving a fixed object. This is appropriate for the initial treatment of the injury. Examples include emergency department visits or initial hospital admissions following such an incident.

• Ensure the documentation explicitly states "unspecified occupant" and "three-wheeled motor vehicle."
• Verify the collision was with a "fixed or stationary object" and occurred in a "traffic accident."
• Confirm this is the "initial encounter" for treatment of the injury. Subsequent care will require a different seventh character.
