Prsn brd/alit a car injured in clsn w nonmtr vehicle, subs

This code signifies an injury sustained by an individual who was in the process of getting into or out of a car when that car was involved in a collision with a non-motorized vehicle (e.g., bicycle, animal-drawn vehicle). The "D" seventh character indicates that this is a subsequent encounter for the injury, meaning the patient is receiving follow-up care after the initial treatment.

Use this code when documenting ongoing care for injuries resulting from a car occupant being struck by a non-motor vehicle while boarding or alighting. This includes scenarios like a patient returning for physical therapy, wound care, or follow-up imaging after the initial hospital visit for such an incident.

• Ensure the documentation clearly states the patient was boarding or alighting the car at the time of impact.
• Verify the collision involved a non-motor vehicle, not another car or a stationary object.
• Confirm this is a subsequent encounter for the injury, not the initial treatment.
