Driver of 3-whl mv injured in clsn w unsp mv nontraf, init

This code signifies an injury sustained by the driver of a three-wheeled motor vehicle involved in a collision with another motor vehicle. The incident occurred in a non-traffic environment, such as a parking lot or private property. This specific code is for the initial treatment of the injury.

Apply this code when documenting injuries to a patient who was operating a three-wheeled vehicle (e.g., a motorized tricycle, auto-rickshaw) and collided with another unspecified motor vehicle. The collision must have taken place off a public roadway, and this code is appropriate for the first encounter for this specific injury.

• Ensure the documentation clearly states the patient was the driver of the three-wheeled vehicle.
• Verify the accident occurred in a nontraffic setting (e.g., private drive, farm field, parking garage).
• Confirm this is the initial encounter for the injury; subsequent care would require a different seventh character.
