V38.4XXA
ICD-10-CMPerson boarding or alighting a three-wheeled motor vehicle injured in noncollision transport accident, initial encounter
This code describes an injury sustained by an individual who is either getting on or off a three-wheeled motor vehicle (e.g., a motorized tricycle, auto-rickshaw) when the vehicle is involved in a transport accident that does not involve a collision with another vehicle or object. The injury occurs during the initial phase of treatment for this specific incident.
Use this code when a patient presents with an injury sustained while boarding or alighting a three-wheeled motor vehicle, and the accident was a non-collision transport event (e.g., falling from the vehicle while dismounting, being struck by the vehicle's door while boarding, or an injury due to sudden movement of the vehicle during boarding/alighting without impact). This code is appropriate for the initial encounter for this injury.
