Prsn brd/alit from bus inj in clsn w nonmtr vehicle, init

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 a non-motorized vehicle, such as a bicycle or pedestrian. The injury occurred during the initial treatment or active phase of care.

Use this code when documenting injuries to a patient who was a bus passenger, or attempting to become one, and was harmed in an accident where the bus struck or was struck by a non-motorized vehicle. This applies to the very first encounter for this specific injury.

• Ensure the documentation clearly states the patient was boarding or alighting from the bus at the time of the collision.
• Verify the other vehicle involved was explicitly non-motorized.
• Confirm this is the initial encounter for treatment of the injury. Subsequent encounters will require a different seventh character.
