Person outside car inj in clsn w 2/3-whl mv in traf, subs

This code signifies an injury sustained by an individual who was outside of a car during a traffic accident involving a two- or three-wheeled motor vehicle. The "subsequent encounter" designation indicates that this code is used for care provided after the initial treatment of the injury, such as follow-up visits, cast changes, or physical therapy.

Apply this code when documenting ongoing care for a patient injured as a pedestrian or bystander struck by a motorcycle, scooter, or moped, where the patient was not inside a car. This would include scenarios like a patient returning for wound care or rehabilitation following the initial emergency room visit.

• Ensure the patient's role as "outside of car" is clearly documented, differentiating from occupants or drivers.
• Verify the involvement of a two- or three-wheeled motor vehicle as the striking object.
• Confirm that the encounter is for follow-up care, not the initial treatment of the injury.
