Person outside car injured in collision w car nontraf, subs

This code describes an individual who was outside of a car (e.g., pedestrian, cyclist, or someone standing near the vehicle) and sustained injuries in a collision involving another type of car. The incident occurred in a non-traffic environment, such as a parking lot or private property, and this code is used for follow-up care after the initial treatment.

Use this code for subsequent encounters when a patient presents for ongoing management of injuries sustained as a non-occupant of a car involved in a collision with another car in a non-public roadway setting. Examples include follow-up appointments for fracture care, wound checks, or physical therapy related to such an incident.

• Ensure the accident occurred in a non-traffic area (e.g., private driveway, parking garage) and involved two distinct types of cars.
• Confirm the patient was outside of a car at the time of impact, not an occupant.
• This code is specifically for subsequent encounters; use the initial encounter code for the first visit.
