Person outside bus inj in clsn w 2/3-whl mv nontraf, init

This code describes an individual who was outside of a bus and sustained injuries when that bus collided with a two- or three-wheeled motor vehicle. This specific scenario occurred in a non-traffic accident, meaning it did not happen on a public highway or road. This is designated as the initial encounter for this injury.

This code is appropriate for documenting the initial treatment of injuries sustained by a pedestrian or bystander who was struck by a bus involved in a collision with a motorcycle, scooter, or similar vehicle. This applies when the incident occurred in a private area, such as a parking lot, private driveway, or off-road setting. It should be used for the very first time the patient presents for care related to this specific event.

• Ensure the documentation clearly states the patient was outside the bus, not a passenger.
• Verify the collision involved a two- or three-wheeled motor vehicle, not a car or truck.
• Confirm the accident occurred in a non-traffic area and this is the patient's initial presentation for care.
