This code describes an injury sustained by an individual who was in the process of getting on or off a bus when the bus was involved in a collision with either a pedestrian or an animal. This specific code is used for follow-up care or subsequent encounters related to the initial injury.

It signifies that the initial acute phase of treatment has passed.

• Verify that the collision involved a pedestrian or an animal, not another vehicle or object.
• This "D" seventh character indicates a subsequent encounter; do not use for the initial treatment of the injury.
