Person outside bus injured in clsn w hv veh nontraf, subs

This code signifies an injury sustained by an individual who was outside of a bus when it collided with another heavy transport vehicle or bus. The incident occurred in a non-traffic setting, such as a parking lot or private property, and the patient is presenting for follow-up care after the initial injury.

Apply this code for subsequent encounters related to injuries from a bus-on-bus or bus-on-heavy-transport-vehicle collision where the injured party was a pedestrian or bystander, not an occupant of either vehicle. This would include scenarios like a bus maintenance worker struck by a bus in a depot, or a pedestrian hit by a bus in a private parking lot, presenting for ongoing treatment.

• Ensure the documentation clearly states the patient was outside the bus at the time of impact.
• Verify the accident occurred in a non-traffic environment.
• Confirm this is a subsequent encounter for the injury, not the initial presentation.
