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

This code describes an injury sustained by an unidentifiable occupant of a bus involved in a traffic accident with another heavy transport vehicle or bus. The specific nature of the injury is not detailed, nor is the role of the individual within the bus (e.g., driver, passenger). This code is for the initial treatment of the injury.

Use this code when documentation indicates a bus occupant was injured in a collision with another large vehicle, but the patient's specific role (e.g., driver, passenger) or the type of injury is not yet documented. This is appropriate for the initial encounter for treatment of the injury.

• Ensure the documentation clearly states the patient was an occupant of a bus involved in a collision with another heavy transport vehicle or bus.
• Only use this code when the specific occupant status (e.g., driver, passenger) is unknown or unspecified.
• Append subsequent encounter (D) or sequela (S) characters for follow-up care or late effects, respectively.
