Passenger in hv veh injured in clsn w ped/anml nontraf, subs

This code signifies that a patient, who was a passenger in a large transport vehicle (e.g., bus, truck) during a non-traffic incident, sustained injuries from a collision with either a pedestrian or an animal. The "D" suffix indicates that this is a subsequent encounter for the injury, meaning the patient is receiving follow-up care after the initial treatment.

Apply this code when documenting follow-up care for injuries sustained by a passenger in a bus or large truck that collided with a person or animal outside of a public roadway. This includes scenarios like an animal strike on a private road or a pedestrian collision within a parking lot.

• Ensure the encounter is for follow-up care, not the initial injury.
• Verify the patient was a passenger, not the driver, and the vehicle was a heavy transport type.
• Confirm the collision involved a pedestrian or animal and occurred in a non-traffic setting.
