Car driver injured in collision w SUV nontraf, subs

This code signifies a car driver's injury sustained during a collision with a sport utility vehicle (SUV) that occurred off a public roadway, such as in a parking lot or private driveway. It specifically indicates that the encounter being coded is for follow-up care or treatment after the initial injury.

Use this code for subsequent visits related to injuries sustained by a car driver in an off-road collision with an SUV. This includes follow-up appointments for wound care, physical therapy, or monitoring of injuries initially treated in an emergency setting.

• Ensure the accident explicitly occurred in a "nontraffic" setting, not on a public highway.
• Confirm the patient was the driver of the car, not a passenger or pedestrian.
• Verify this is a subsequent encounter for the injury, not the initial treatment.
