Passenger injured in collision w unsp mv nontraf, init

This code signifies an injury sustained by a passenger in a motor vehicle accident that occurred outside of a public roadway, where the other vehicle involved is not specified. The injury is acute and represents the initial presentation for treatment.

Apply this code when a patient presents with injuries from being a passenger in a collision that took place in a parking lot, private driveway, or other off-road location, and the type of other vehicle involved in the collision is not documented. This code is appropriate for the initial encounter for care related to these injuries.

• Ensure the accident occurred in a "nontraffic" setting, such as a parking lot or private property.
• Confirm the patient was a "passenger" and not the driver or a pedestrian.
• Only use this code when the type of other motor vehicle involved is unknown or unspecified in the documentation.
