Prsn brd/alit from bus injured in collision w hv veh, subs

This code describes an injury sustained by an individual who was in the process of getting on or off a bus when that bus was involved in a collision with another heavy transport vehicle or another bus. This specific code is used for encounters following the initial treatment of the injury.

Apply this code when documenting follow-up care, such as wound checks, physical therapy, or medication adjustments, for a patient whose initial injury occurred while boarding or alighting from a bus during a collision with a large vehicle. This includes situations where the patient is returning for ongoing management of the previously diagnosed injury.

• Ensure the encounter is for subsequent care, not the initial treatment.
• Verify the patient was boarding or alighting, not simply a passenger inside the bus.
• Confirm the collision involved a heavy transport vehicle or another bus.
