Car passenger injured in clsn w nonmtr vehicle in traf, subs

This code indicates a follow-up encounter for a car passenger who sustained injuries in a traffic accident involving another non-motorized vehicle, such as a bicycle or animal-drawn vehicle. It specifically identifies the individual's role as a passenger and the nature of the collision, occurring within a traffic environment.

Use this code for subsequent visits related to injuries sustained by a car passenger in a collision with a non-motor vehicle on a public roadway. This includes follow-up appointments for wound care, physical therapy, or re-evaluation of injuries after the initial acute treatment.

• Ensure the encounter is for follow-up care, not the initial treatment.
• Verify the patient was a passenger in a car and the other vehicle involved was non-motorized.
• Confirm the accident occurred in a traffic setting.
