This code describes an injury sustained by a person who was a passenger in a three-wheeled motor vehicle (e.g., a motorized tricycle or auto-rickshaw) involved in a non-collision incident within a traffic environment. This specific code is used for follow-up care after the initial treatment of the injury.

Apply this code for subsequent encounters related to an injury where the patient was a passenger in a three-wheeled vehicle that experienced a non-collision event (e.g., overturning, falling from the vehicle, or a mechanical failure) on a public roadway. Examples include follow-up appointments for wound care, physical therapy, or re-evaluation of fractures sustained in such an accident.

• Ensure the "D" seventh character is appropriate for subsequent care, not initial treatment or sequela.
• Confirm the patient was a passenger and not the driver or a pedestrian.
• Verify the vehicle was a three-wheeled motor vehicle and the incident was a non-collision transport accident occurring in traffic.
