Driver of hv veh injured in clsn w pedl cyc nontraf, subs

This code describes an injury sustained by the driver of a large commercial vehicle, such as a truck or bus, resulting from a collision with a bicycle. The incident occurred in a non-traffic environment, meaning it did not happen on a public road or highway. This specific code is used for follow-up care after the initial injury.

This code is appropriate for documenting subsequent encounters for a heavy transport vehicle driver who was injured when their vehicle struck a pedal cycle in a private parking lot, a loading dock, or a private access road. Examples include follow-up appointments for fracture management, wound care, or physical therapy related to the original incident.

• Ensure the documentation clearly specifies the patient was the driver of the heavy transport vehicle, not a passenger or the cyclist.
• Verify the accident occurred in a non-traffic area, such as a private property or industrial site.
• Confirm this is a subsequent encounter for the injury; use the initial encounter code for the first visit.
