Car passenger injured in collision w pedl cyc nontraf, subs

This code describes a car passenger who sustained injuries in an accident where their vehicle collided with a bicycle. The collision occurred in a non-traffic area, such as a parking lot or private driveway, and the patient is presenting for follow-up care after the initial treatment of their injuries.

Use this code for subsequent encounters when a car passenger is receiving ongoing treatment, rehabilitation, or follow-up for injuries sustained from a collision with a pedal cycle in a non-traffic setting. This includes visits for wound checks, physical therapy, medication adjustments, or evaluation of healing progress.

• Ensure the accident explicitly occurred in a non-traffic environment.
• Verify the patient was a passenger in the car, not the driver or a pedestrian.
• Confirm this is a subsequent encounter (D) and not the initial treatment (A) or sequela (S).
