Driver injured in collision w oth mv nontraf, subs

This code signifies a driver who sustained injuries in a motor vehicle collision that occurred off a public roadway, such as in a parking lot or private property. The "subsequent encounter" designation indicates that this code is used for follow-up care, after the initial treatment for the injury has already been provided.

This code is appropriate for documenting ongoing care, rehabilitation, or management of complications arising from injuries sustained by a driver in a non-traffic motor vehicle accident involving other vehicles. Examples include physical therapy for a whiplash injury or follow-up for a fracture sustained in a parking lot fender bender.

• Ensure the encounter is for follow-up care, not the initial treatment.
• Verify the accident occurred in a non-traffic area (e.g., private driveway, parking garage).
• Confirm the patient was the driver and the collision involved at least one other motor vehicle.
