Driver of bus injured in clsn w nonmtr vehicle in traf, subs

This code indicates that a bus driver sustained injuries in a traffic accident involving a nonmotor vehicle (e.g., bicycle, animal-drawn vehicle) and is now presenting for follow-up care or treatment of complications. The initial injury has already been addressed, and this encounter is for ongoing management.

Apply this code for subsequent visits related to injuries sustained by a bus driver in such an accident, after the initial acute treatment. Examples include physical therapy, wound care, or follow-up appointments for fracture healing. It is appropriate when the patient is no longer in the acute phase of injury.

• Always use in conjunction with codes for the specific injuries sustained by the driver.
• Ensure the encounter is truly "subsequent" and not the initial treatment for the injury.
• Verify the driver was operating a bus and the other vehicle was nonmotorized.
