Prsn brd/alit a car injured in nonclsn trnsp accident, init

This code signifies an injury sustained by an individual who was in the process of entering or exiting a car when a non-collision transportation accident occurred. This includes incidents where the car itself was involved in a non-collision event (e.g., rolling over, falling) while the person was boarding or alighting, leading to injury.

Use this code for patients presenting with injuries sustained while actively getting into or out of a car, where the injury was caused by a transportation accident that did not involve a collision with another vehicle or object. Examples include a person falling and being injured as a car unexpectedly rolls backward while they are exiting, or an individual being struck by a car door that swings shut due to a sudden jolt while they are boarding.

• Ensure the documentation clearly states the patient was boarding or alighting the car at the time of the non-collision accident.
• Verify that the accident was transportation-related and did not involve a collision with another vehicle or object.
• Confirm this is the initial encounter for the patient's treatment of this specific injury.
