Car pasngr injured in nonclsn trnsp accident in traf, init

This code signifies an injury sustained by a passenger in a car involved in a non-collision transport accident within a traffic setting. This means the vehicle did not strike another object or person, but an event such as a rollover, sudden stop, or fall from the vehicle caused the injury. This code is specifically for the initial treatment of such an injury.

Apply this code when a car passenger presents for initial care following an injury from a non-collision event on a public road or highway. Examples include a passenger injured when the car swerved to avoid an animal and rolled over, or when a passenger was ejected during a sudden braking maneuver.

• Ensure the documentation clearly states the patient was a passenger and the accident was non-collisional.
• Verify the encounter is for the initial treatment of the injury.
• Confirm the accident occurred in a traffic environment.
