Car pasngr injured in clsn with statnry object nontraf, init

This code identifies an injury sustained by an occupant of a car involved in an impact with an unmoving object, such as a tree, pole, or building, that occurred off a public roadway. This specifically refers to the initial treatment or evaluation for the injury resulting from this type of incident.

Apply this code when a patient presents with injuries sustained as a passenger in a car that struck a stationary object in a non-traffic setting, like a parking lot, private driveway, or field. This is appropriate for the first encounter for care related to the accident.

• Ensure the documentation clearly states the patient was a passenger and the accident involved a fixed or stationary object.
• Verify the accident occurred in a non-traffic environment (e.g., private property, parking garage).
• Confirm this is the initial encounter for treatment of the injuries from this specific event.
