Driver of 3-whl mv injured in clsn w oth mv nontraf, subs

This code signifies a patient presenting for follow-up care related to injuries sustained as the driver of a three-wheeled motor vehicle. The original incident involved a collision with another motor vehicle, and importantly, occurred in a non-traffic environment, such as a private driveway, parking lot, or off-road area.

Use this code for any subsequent encounter (e.g., follow-up appointments, cast changes, physical therapy) where the patient is being treated for injuries directly resulting from the described accident. This applies after the initial acute treatment phase has concluded.

• Ensure the documentation clearly specifies the patient was the driver of the three-wheeled vehicle.
• Verify the accident occurred in a nontraffic setting, differentiating it from incidents on public roadways.
• Confirm this is a subsequent encounter for the injury, not the initial treatment.
