Unsp car occupant injured in collision w car nontraf, subs

This code describes an injury sustained by an unspecified occupant of a car involved in a collision with another type of car, occurring in a non-traffic setting. The "subsequent encounter" designation indicates this code is used for follow-up care after the initial treatment of the injury.

Use this code for any follow-up visits, such as wound checks, physical therapy, or medication management, for an injury sustained by a car occupant in a parking lot, private driveway, or other off-road location, where the collision was with another car. This applies when the specific occupant (e.g., driver, passenger) is not documented.

• Ensure documentation clearly states the accident was a "non-traffic" event and involved two cars.
• Verify this is a subsequent encounter for the injury, not the initial treatment.
• Pair with an external cause code (e.g., V00-Y99) to provide more detail about the accident circumstances.
