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

This code signifies an injury sustained by an unspecified occupant of a large transport vehicle (e.g., bus, truck) during a non-traffic accident where the vehicle collided with a pedestrian or an animal. The "D" suffix indicates that this is a subsequent encounter for care related to the initial injury.

Use this code for follow-up visits, cast changes, medication adjustments, or therapy sessions for injuries sustained in the described accident. This applies when the patient is an occupant of the heavy transport vehicle, not the pedestrian or animal.

• Ensure the documentation clearly states the patient was an occupant of a heavy transport vehicle, not the pedestrian or animal involved.
• Verify the encounter is for subsequent care of the injury, not the initial treatment.
• Confirm the accident occurred in a non-traffic setting (e.g., parking lot, private property).
