Passenger in hv veh injured in clsn w pedl cyc nontraf, subs

This code describes an injury sustained by a passenger in a large vehicle, such as a bus or truck, when it collides with a bicycle in a non-roadway setting. The "subsequent encounter" indicates that this code is used for follow-up care after the initial treatment for the injury.

Use this code for patients presenting for ongoing management of injuries (e.g., wound care, physical therapy, medication refills) that resulted from being a passenger in a heavy transport vehicle involved in a collision with a pedal cycle in a parking lot, private driveway, or other off-road location. This code is appropriate for any visit after the initial emergency or acute care.

• Ensure the encounter is for follow-up care, not the initial treatment of the injury.
• Verify the patient was a passenger in a heavy transport vehicle and the collision involved a pedal cycle.
• Confirm the accident occurred in a nontraffic setting (e.g., private property, parking lot).
