Person outside bus injured in clsn w hv veh in traf, init

This code identifies an individual who was outside of a bus and sustained injuries when that bus collided with another heavy transport vehicle or bus in a traffic accident. It specifically indicates the initial phase of treatment for these injuries.

Apply this code when documenting injuries sustained by a pedestrian, bicyclist, or other person not occupying a vehicle, who was struck by a bus involved in a multi-vehicle collision with another large vehicle. This is appropriate for the initial emergency department visit or first inpatient admission related to the incident.

• Ensure the patient was an "outside occupant" (e.g., pedestrian, bicyclist) and not a passenger or driver of either vehicle.
• Confirm the collision involved a bus and another heavy transport vehicle (e.g., truck, another bus).
• This code is for the initial encounter only; subsequent care will require a different seventh character.
