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

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, streetcar) when it collided with a non-motorized vehicle (e.g., bicycle, animal-drawn vehicle). This specific code is for a subsequent encounter, indicating follow-up care for the initial injury.

Use this code for follow-up visits, rehabilitation, or further treatment related to an injury sustained in the described accident. Examples include physical therapy for a sprain, wound care for lacerations, or monitoring a concussion after the initial emergency room visit.

• Ensure the documentation clearly states the patient was boarding or alighting a heavy transport vehicle.
• Verify the collision involved a non-motor vehicle, not another motor vehicle or a pedestrian.
• Confirm this is for a subsequent encounter; initial treatment would use the 'A' seventh character.
