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

This code describes an injury sustained by an individual riding in an unspecified capacity (e.g., driver, passenger) on a three-wheeled motor vehicle. The injury occurred during a collision with another unspecified motor vehicle, and the incident took place off a public roadway. This is designated as the initial encounter for this specific injury.

This code is appropriate when documentation indicates a patient was injured while on a three-wheeled motor vehicle (e.g., ATV, trike) that collided with another motor vehicle, and the accident did not occur on a public highway or street. It should be used when the specific role of the occupant (driver/passenger) is not documented, and the type of other vehicle involved is unknown.

• Ensure the documentation explicitly states the accident was a "nontraffic" event, meaning it occurred off a public road.
• Only use this code when the occupant's specific role (driver, passenger) is not specified in the medical record.
• Pair this external cause code with an appropriate injury code to fully describe the patient's condition.
