Driver of hv veh injured in collision w hv veh in traf, subs

This code signifies a driver of a large commercial vehicle (e.g., truck, bus) who sustained injuries in a traffic accident involving another large commercial vehicle or bus. The "subsequent encounter" aspect indicates that this code is used for follow-up care after the initial treatment of these injuries.

Apply this code for any subsequent visits related to injuries sustained by a heavy transport vehicle driver in a collision with another heavy transport vehicle or bus. This includes follow-up appointments, physical therapy, or additional diagnostic tests for conditions stemming from the original accident.

• Ensure the patient was the driver of the heavy transport vehicle, not a passenger or pedestrian.
• Confirm the collision involved another heavy transport vehicle or bus.
• The "D" seventh character is crucial for indicating a subsequent encounter for treatment of the injury.
