Car passenger injured in clsn w nonmtr vehicle nontraf, subs

This code signifies an injury sustained by an individual who was a passenger in a car involved in a collision with a non-motorized vehicle (e.g., bicycle, animal-drawn vehicle) during an incident that occurred off a public roadway. The "subsequent encounter" designation indicates that the patient is receiving follow-up care for an injury previously treated.

This code is appropriate when documenting ongoing treatment, such as wound care, physical therapy, or medication management, for a car passenger injured in an off-road collision with a non-motorized vehicle. It applies after the initial acute care for the injury has been rendered.

• Ensure the accident occurred in a non-traffic setting (e.g., parking lot, private driveway).
• Verify the patient was a passenger in a car and the other vehicle involved was non-motorized.
• Confirm this is not the initial visit for the injury; use the appropriate initial encounter code for the first treatment.
