Occup of hv veh injured in collision w oth mv nontraf, init

This code describes an injury sustained by an unspecified occupant of a large transport vehicle (e.g., bus, truck) when it collides with another motor vehicle. The accident occurs in a non-traffic area, such as a parking lot or private property. This code is for the initial treatment of the injury.

Use this code when documenting injuries to a driver or passenger of a heavy transport vehicle involved in a collision with another vehicle off public roadways. Examples include a bus hitting a car in a school parking lot or two trucks colliding in a private yard. It is specifically for the initial encounter for treatment.

• Ensure the accident occurred in a non-traffic area; otherwise, a traffic accident code is more appropriate.
• Verify the vehicle involved is a "heavy transport vehicle" and not a standard passenger car.
• Confirm this is the initial encounter for the injury; subsequent care will require different encounter codes.
