Passenger on bus injured in collision w hv veh nontraf, init

This code describes an injury sustained by a passenger traveling on a bus involved in a collision with another large vehicle, such as a heavy truck or another bus. The accident occurred in a non-traffic setting, meaning it did not happen on a public roadway. This specific code is for the initial treatment of the injury.

Use this code when documenting the initial encounter for a patient injured while riding as a passenger on a bus that collided with a heavy transport vehicle or another bus. The collision must have taken place off a public thoroughfare, such as in a parking lot, private property, or a bus depot.

• Ensure the patient was a passenger on the bus, not the driver or a pedestrian.
• Verify the collision involved a "heavy transport vehicle" or another "bus" and occurred in a "nontraffic" environment.
• The "A" seventh character indicates this is for the initial encounter for treatment of the injury.
