Occup of hv veh inj in clsn w statnry object nontraf, init

This code signifies an injury sustained by an occupant of a large transport vehicle, such as a bus or truck, when the vehicle strikes a non-moving object. The incident occurs in a non-traffic setting, meaning it did not happen on a public roadway. This is the initial encounter for the patient's treatment.

This code is appropriate for documenting injuries to an unspecified occupant (e.g., driver, passenger) of a heavy transport vehicle involved in an accident with a fixed object (e.g., building, tree, pole) that occurs off a public highway or road. Examples include a truck hitting a loading dock or a bus colliding with a fence in a private lot.

• Ensure the accident occurred in a non-traffic area; if on a public road, a different code category is required.
• Verify the vehicle involved is a "heavy transport vehicle" and not a standard passenger car.
• Confirm this is the initial treatment for the injury; subsequent encounters will require different seventh characters.
