Occup of hv veh injured in clsn w 2/3-whl mv nontraf, init

This code describes an injury sustained by an individual riding in a large vehicle, such as a bus or truck, when it collides with a motorcycle or moped. The accident occurred off a public roadway, and this specific code indicates the initial treatment for the injury.

This code is appropriate for documenting the initial encounter for injuries sustained by a passenger or driver of a heavy transport vehicle involved in a collision with a two- or three-wheeled motor vehicle in a non-traffic setting, such as a private parking lot, farm, or industrial site. It should be used when the specific type of heavy transport vehicle occupant is not further specified in the medical record.

• Ensure documentation clearly states the accident occurred in a "nontraffic" area.
• Verify the heavy transport vehicle occupant is "unspecified" to use this code; otherwise, a more specific V-code may be appropriate.
• Always assign additional codes for the specific injuries sustained and any external cause codes for the two- or three-wheeled motor vehicle.
