Occupant (driver) of hv veh injured in unsp nontraf, init

This code signifies an injury sustained by an individual who was either driving or riding as a passenger in a heavy transport vehicle (e.g., truck, bus) during an accident that did not occur on a public roadway. The specific nature of the accident is not documented, and this code is for the initial treatment of the injury.

Apply this code when a patient presents with an injury resulting from an incident involving a heavy transport vehicle that happened off-road, such as in a private lot, a construction site, or a farm. This code is appropriate when the documentation does not specify the exact type of non-traffic accident.

• Ensure the documentation clearly states the accident was "nontraffic" and involved a "heavy transport vehicle."
• Only use this code for the initial encounter for treatment of the injury.
• Always look for more specific external cause codes if the type of nontraffic accident is documented (e.g., fall from vehicle, collision with stationary object).
