Unsp car occupant injured in clsn w oth mv nontraf, init

This code signifies an injury sustained by an occupant of a car involved in a collision with another motor vehicle, where the incident occurred in a non-traffic setting (e.g., a parking lot, private driveway). The specific nature of the injury and the type of other motor vehicle involved are not specified. This code is used for the initial treatment of the injury.

This code is appropriate when a patient presents with injuries resulting from a car-on-car collision that did not happen on a public roadway, and the documentation does not provide further details about the specific injury or the type of other vehicle involved. It is used for the first encounter for this specific injury.

• Ensure documentation clearly states the accident was a "nontraffic" event.
• Only use this code if the specific injury and the type of other motor vehicle are truly unspecified in the medical record.
• Verify this is the initial encounter for the injury; subsequent encounters would use a different seventh character.
