Passenger in hv veh injured in clsn w oth mv in traf, init

This code signifies an injury sustained by an individual who was a passenger in a large, heavy transport vehicle (e.g., bus, truck) involved in a traffic collision with other motor vehicles. It specifically identifies the role of the injured party as a passenger and the nature of the accident as a multi-vehicle traffic event.

Apply this code when documenting injuries for a patient who was a passenger in a commercial bus, large truck, or similar heavy transport vehicle that was struck by or collided with another motor vehicle on a public roadway. This is appropriate for the initial treatment of the injury resulting from such an accident.

• Ensure the patient's role is clearly documented as a "passenger" and not the driver or pedestrian.
• Verify the type of vehicle involved is a "heavy transport vehicle" and the collision was with "other motor vehicles."
• Confirm this is the initial encounter for the injury; subsequent encounters will require different seventh characters.
