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

This code describes an injury sustained by an individual who was in the process of getting on or off a bus when it was involved in a collision with a non-motorized vehicle. The "subsequent encounter" indicates that this code is used for follow-up care after the initial treatment for the injury.

This code is appropriate for documenting ongoing care, such as follow-up appointments, physical therapy, or wound care, for injuries sustained in the described accident. It would be used after the initial emergency room visit or hospitalization has concluded.

• Ensure the documentation clearly specifies the patient was boarding or alighting the bus, not merely a passenger.
• Verify the collision involved a non-motorized vehicle (e.g., bicycle, animal-drawn vehicle).
• Confirm this is a subsequent encounter for the injury, not the initial treatment.
