Prsn brd/alit from bus injured in clsn w 2/3-whl mv, init

This code signifies an injury sustained by an individual who was in the process of getting on or off a bus when it was involved in a collision with a motorcycle, moped, or similar two- or three-wheeled motor vehicle. It specifically captures the initial treatment for such an event.

Apply this code when documenting the initial encounter for a patient injured while boarding or alighting a bus that was struck by a two- or three-wheeled motor vehicle. This would include scenarios like a pedestrian being hit by a motorcycle while stepping off a bus, or a bus passenger being injured during a collision with a moped while disembarking.

• Always use in conjunction with an external cause code (V00-Y99) to fully describe the circumstances of the injury.
• Ensure the "A" seventh character is appended for the initial encounter of care.
• Verify the patient's role as "boarding or alighting" and the specific vehicle types involved in the collision.
