Pasngr in 3-whl mv inj in nonclsn trnsp acc nontraf, subs

This code signifies an injury sustained by a passenger in a three-wheeled motor vehicle (e.g., an ATV, trike) during a non-collision incident that occurred off a public roadway. The "subsequent encounter" designation indicates that this code is used for follow-up care after the initial treatment for the injury.

This code is appropriate for documenting ongoing care, such as physical therapy, wound care, or follow-up appointments, for a patient who was injured as a passenger in an off-road three-wheeled vehicle accident that did not involve a collision. Examples include injuries from rollovers, falls from the vehicle, or being thrown from the vehicle without impact with another object or vehicle.

• Ensure the patient was a passenger and not the driver; a different code applies for the driver.
• Verify the accident was a non-collision event and occurred in a nontraffic (off-road) setting.
• Confirm this is a subsequent encounter for the injury; use an initial encounter code for the first visit.
