Person outsd bus inj in clsn w nonmtr vehicle in traf, init

This code describes an individual who was outside of a bus and sustained injuries as a result of a collision with another non-motorized vehicle (e.g., bicycle, animal-drawn vehicle) in a traffic accident. It specifically indicates the initial phase of treatment for these injuries.

This code is appropriate for documenting the initial medical care provided to a pedestrian, cyclist, or other person not inside a bus, who was struck by a non-motorized vehicle during a traffic incident involving a bus. It would be used in emergency department visits, initial hospital admissions, or the first outpatient encounter for such an injury.

• Ensure the patient was outside the bus at the time of the collision.
• Verify the other vehicle involved was non-motorized and the incident occurred in traffic.
• Confirm this is the initial encounter for the injury; subsequent care would require a different seventh character.
