Unsp car occupant injured in clsn w hv veh nontraf, init

This code describes an injury sustained by an occupant of a car involved in a collision with a large commercial vehicle (e.g., truck, bus) that occurred in a non-traffic setting. The specific role of the car occupant is not documented, and this code is for the initial treatment of the injury.

Use this code when a patient presents for initial care following an accident where their car, while not on a public roadway, collided with a heavy transport vehicle or bus, and the documentation does not specify if they were the driver or a passenger. Examples include collisions in parking lots, private driveways, or industrial yards.

• Ensure documentation clearly states the collision was with a "heavy transport vehicle" or "bus" and occurred in a "nontraffic accident."
• Only use this code when the specific car occupant status (driver/passenger) is unknown or unspecified in the medical record.
• Confirm this is the patient's "initial encounter" for the injury; subsequent encounters will require different seventh characters.
