Car passenger injured in collision w hv veh nontraf, init

This code signifies an injury sustained by an occupant of a car involved in a collision with a large commercial vehicle or bus. The incident occurred in a location other than a public roadway, such as a parking lot or private property. This specific code is for the initial treatment of the injury.

Apply this code when a patient presents for initial care following an injury sustained as a car passenger in a non-traffic accident involving a heavy transport vehicle or bus. Examples include collisions in parking garages, private driveways, or industrial yards.

• Ensure the accident location is explicitly documented as non-traffic.
• Verify the patient was a passenger in a car, not the driver or a pedestrian.
• Confirm the other vehicle involved was a heavy transport vehicle or bus.
