Person outside hv veh inj in clsn w ped/anml nontraf, subs

This code describes an injury sustained by an individual who was positioned on the exterior of a large transport vehicle (e.g., a train, bus, or truck) when it collided with a pedestrian or an animal. The incident occurred in a non-traffic environment, meaning it did not take place on a public roadway. This specific code is for a subsequent encounter, indicating follow-up care for the initial injury.

This code is appropriate for follow-up visits related to injuries sustained by individuals who were, for example, riding on the outside of a train or a large truck and were involved in a collision with a person or animal in a private yard, rail yard, or other off-road setting. It should be used for subsequent encounters after the initial treatment of the injury.

• Ensure the accident occurred in a "nontraffic" setting; otherwise, a different code from the V60-V69 range may be more appropriate.
• Verify the patient was "on the outside" of the heavy transport vehicle, not inside or a pedestrian/animal involved.
• Confirm this is a subsequent encounter for the injury; initial encounters require a different 7th character.
