Pasngr in hv veh injured in nonclsn trnsp acc nontraf, subs

This code signifies a patient who was a passenger in a large transport vehicle (e.g., bus, train, commercial truck) and sustained injuries during a non-collision incident that occurred outside of a public roadway. The injury is being addressed in a subsequent encounter, indicating follow-up care for the initial trauma.

Apply this code for follow-up visits related to injuries sustained by a passenger in a bus that experienced a sudden stop, a train passenger injured by an abrupt jolt, or a passenger in a large commercial vehicle injured when cargo shifted, provided the incident did not involve a collision with another vehicle or object and did not occur on a public thoroughfare. This code is appropriate for any encounter after the initial treatment of the injury.

• Ensure the "D" seventh character is appropriate for a subsequent encounter, indicating active treatment or recovery.
• Verify the accident was non-collision and occurred in a non-traffic environment, such as a private depot or rail yard.
• Always code the specific nature of the injury first, followed by this external cause code.
