Occup of hv veh inj in clsn w nonmtr vehicle in traf, init

This code describes an injury sustained by an occupant of a large transport vehicle (e.g., bus, truck) involved in a traffic collision with a non-motorized vehicle (e.g., bicycle, animal-drawn vehicle). The specific role of the occupant (e.g., driver, passenger) is not documented, and this code is for the initial treatment of the injury.

Use this code when documentation indicates an unspecified occupant of a heavy transport vehicle was injured in a traffic accident involving a non-motor vehicle. This applies to the first encounter for the injury, such as in an emergency department or initial physician visit.

• Requires an additional code for the specific nature of the injury (e.g., fracture, contusion).
• Ensure the "A" for initial encounter is appended for the first time the patient is seen for this injury.
• Confirm the vehicle types involved: heavy transport vehicle and a non-motor vehicle.
