Occup of hv veh injured in nonclsn trnsp acc in traf, init

This code describes an injury sustained by an occupant of a large transport vehicle (e.g., bus, truck) in a traffic accident that did not involve a collision with another vehicle or object. The specific type of heavy transport vehicle and the nature of the noncollision event are not documented.

Use this code when a patient presents with an injury resulting from a traffic accident involving a heavy transport vehicle, and the medical record clearly indicates the accident was a noncollision event (e.g., rollover, sudden braking causing injury, falling from the vehicle) with insufficient detail to specify the vehicle type or event. This code is appropriate for the initial encounter for this injury.

• Ensure the documentation explicitly states a "noncollision" transport accident in traffic.
• Verify the patient was an "occupant" of a heavy transport vehicle, not a pedestrian or cyclist.
• Only use this code when more specific details about the vehicle type or noncollision event are unavailable.
