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

This code signifies an injury sustained by an individual operating a three-wheeled motor vehicle (e.g., a motorized tricycle, auto-rickshaw) who was involved in a traffic collision with another motor vehicle, the specific type of which is not documented. It indicates the initial phase of treatment for the injury.

Apply this code when a patient presents with injuries resulting from being the driver of a three-wheeled vehicle involved in a traffic accident where the other vehicle involved is simply described as "another motor vehicle" or "unspecified motor vehicle." This code is appropriate for the initial emergency room visit or first encounter for treatment.

• Ensure the patient was explicitly documented as the "driver" of the three-wheeled vehicle.
• Verify that the collision involved another motor vehicle and that its specific type is unknown or not specified.
• Confirm this is the initial encounter for the injury; subsequent care would require a different seventh character.
