Unsp car occ inj in clsn with statnry object nontraf, subs

This code signifies an injury sustained by an occupant of a car involved in a crash with a stationary object, such as a tree or building, that occurred off a public roadway. The specific type of occupant (e.g., driver, passenger) is not documented, and this code is used for follow-up care after the initial treatment of the injury.

Apply this code for subsequent encounters (e.g., follow-up appointments, physical therapy, wound care) for injuries sustained by an unspecified car occupant in a non-traffic accident involving a fixed object. This includes scenarios like a car hitting a fence in a private driveway or a building in a parking lot.

• Ensure documentation clearly states the encounter is for follow-up care (D for subsequent encounter).
• Verify the accident occurred in a non-traffic area and involved a fixed or stationary object.
• Only use this code when the specific occupant (driver, passenger) is not specified in the medical record.
