Car driver injured in collision w hv veh nontraf, subs

This code signifies a car driver's injury sustained in a non-roadway collision involving a heavy transport vehicle or bus, specifically for follow-up care. It indicates that the initial treatment for the injury has already been provided, and the patient is presenting for subsequent management or evaluation of the same injury.

Use this code for a car driver returning for physical therapy, wound care, or follow-up imaging related to injuries from an off-road collision with a large vehicle. This applies when the initial encounter for the injury has already been coded and billed.

• Ensure the accident occurred in a non-traffic area (e.g., parking lot, private property).
• Verify the patient was the driver of the car, not a passenger or pedestrian.
• Confirm this is a subsequent encounter for the injury, not the initial presentation.
