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

This code describes a patient who was a passenger in a large vehicle, such as a bus or truck, and sustained injuries during a traffic accident involving a collision with a bicycle. The "subsequent encounter" indicates that this code is used for follow-up care, such as cast changes, wound checks, or physical therapy, after the initial treatment for the injuries.

Use this code when documenting ongoing care for a patient who was injured as a passenger in a heavy transport vehicle that collided with a pedal cycle. This applies to situations where the patient is returning for further evaluation, treatment, or rehabilitation related to the original incident.

• Ensure the patient was a passenger, not the driver, of the heavy transport vehicle.
• Verify that the collision involved a pedal cycle (bicycle).
• Confirm this is for a subsequent encounter, not the initial treatment of the injury.
