Car passenger injured in collision w car nontraf, subs

This code signifies a car passenger's injury sustained in a collision with another car, occurring in a non-traffic setting (e.g., parking lot, private driveway). The "D" suffix indicates this is a subsequent encounter, meaning the patient is receiving follow-up care for an injury initially treated in a prior encounter.

Apply this code for subsequent visits related to injuries sustained by a passenger in a two-car collision that did not happen on a public highway or road. This includes scenarios such as physical therapy, wound care, or follow-up appointments for fractures or soft tissue injuries resulting from such an incident.

• Ensure the accident occurred in a non-traffic area, not on a public road.
• Verify the patient was a passenger, not the driver, and that another car was involved.
• Confirm this is a subsequent encounter for the injury, not the initial treatment.
