Occup of bus injured in collision w hv veh nontraf, init

This code describes an injury sustained by an unidentifiable occupant of a bus involved in a crash with another heavy transport vehicle or bus. The accident occurred in a non-traffic setting, such as a parking lot or private property. This initial encounter code signifies the first time the patient is receiving treatment for this specific injury.

This code is appropriate for documenting injuries to a bus passenger, driver, or other occupant where their specific role is not documented, following a collision with another large vehicle (like a truck or another bus) that did not happen on a public road. Examples include incidents in bus depots, private driveways, or construction sites.

• Ensure the documentation explicitly states the accident was a "nontraffic accident" and involved a bus and another heavy transport vehicle/bus.
• Only use this code when the specific occupant (e.g., driver, passenger) is not identified in the medical record.
• Remember to append additional codes for the specific injuries sustained by the patient.
