V38.7XXA
ICD-10-CMPerson on outside of three-wheeled motor vehicle injured in noncollision transport accident in traffic accident, initial encounter
This code signifies an injury sustained by an individual who was positioned outside of a three-wheeled motor vehicle when it was involved in a non-collision incident within a traffic environment. This implies the injury was not due to an impact with another vehicle or object, but rather from events like overturning, falling from the vehicle, or a sudden stop. This specific code is for the initial treatment of such an injury.
Apply this code when a patient presents for their first encounter following an injury sustained while they were, for example, ejected from a three-wheeled motor vehicle, fell off it, or were otherwise injured by the vehicle's movement without a direct impact with another entity. This would include scenarios like a passenger falling from the sidecar of a motorcycle or an individual being thrown from an ATV that rolled over on a public road.
