Prsn brd/alit hv veh injured in clsn w statnry object, 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, semi-truck) when it collided with a non-moving object. This specific code is used for follow-up care related to such an incident, indicating that the initial treatment has already been provided.

Use this code for subsequent encounters when a patient presents for ongoing management, follow-up, or complications stemming from an injury sustained while boarding or alighting a heavy transport vehicle that struck a fixed object. Examples include follow-up appointments for fracture healing, physical therapy for soft tissue injuries, or wound care after the initial emergency room visit.

• Ensure the documentation clearly states the patient was boarding or alighting a "heavy transport vehicle" (e.g., bus, train, large truck).
• Verify the collision was with a "fixed or stationary object" and not another moving vehicle or a pedestrian.
• The "D" seventh character signifies a subsequent encounter, meaning the patient is receiving routine care during the healing or recovery phase.
