Unsp car occ injured in clsn w nonmtr vehicle in traf, subs

This code describes an individual who was a passenger or driver in a car involved in a traffic accident with a non-motorized vehicle (e.g., bicycle, animal-drawn vehicle) and is now presenting for follow-up care related to injuries sustained in that event. The specific type of car occupant is not documented, nor is the specific non-motor vehicle.

Apply this code for subsequent encounters when a patient is receiving ongoing treatment for injuries from a car-versus-non-motor-vehicle traffic accident, and the documentation does not specify whether they were the driver or a passenger. This is appropriate for follow-up visits, cast changes, physical therapy, or medication refills related to the initial injury.

• Requires a seventh character "D" for subsequent encounter.
• Only use when the specific car occupant (driver/passenger) is not documented.
• Ensure the accident involved a non-motor vehicle, not another motor vehicle.
