Person outside hv veh inj in clsn w 2/3-whl mv in traf, subs

This code signifies an injury sustained by an individual who was positioned on the exterior of a large transport vehicle (e.g., a bus, truck, or train) during a traffic accident. The collision specifically involved a two- or three-wheeled motor vehicle (e.g., motorcycle, scooter, moped) and occurred in a traffic environment. The "D" suffix indicates this is for a subsequent encounter, meaning the patient is receiving follow-up care for the initial injury.

Use this code for patients presenting for ongoing treatment, such as wound care, physical therapy, or medication management, following an injury sustained in the described accident. This applies when the patient was a non-occupant on the outside of a heavy transport vehicle that collided with a motorcycle or similar vehicle. Do not use for the initial treatment of the injury.

• Ensure the patient's documentation clearly specifies they were on the outside of the heavy transport vehicle, not an occupant.
• Verify the collision involved a two- or three-wheeled motor vehicle, not another type of vehicle.
• The "D" suffix is crucial; only use for follow-up care after the initial injury has been treated.
