Prsn brd/alit hv veh injured in clsn w nonmtr vehicle, init

This code describes an injury sustained by an individual who was in the process of getting on or off a large transport vehicle (e.g., bus, train, semi-truck) when it collided with a non-motorized vehicle (e.g., bicycle, animal-drawn vehicle, pedestrian). The injury occurred during the initial treatment phase of the encounter.

Apply this code when documenting injuries from an accident where a person was boarding or alighting a heavy transport vehicle and was involved in a collision with a non-motor vehicle. This is appropriate for the initial medical care received for the injury.

• Ensure the patient was actively boarding or alighting, not merely a passenger or pedestrian.
• Verify the colliding vehicle was explicitly non-motorized.
• Confirm this is the first encounter for treatment of the injury.
