V77.2XXA
ICD-10-CMPerson on outside of bus injured in collision with fixed or stationary object in nontraffic accident, initial encounter
This code signifies an injury sustained by an individual who was positioned on the exterior of a bus during a collision. The incident specifically involves the bus striking a non-moving object, and it occurred in a location other than a public roadway, such as a private lot or depot. The "initial encounter" designation indicates this is for the first time the patient is receiving active treatment for this specific injury.
Apply this code when documenting injuries to a person who was, for example, riding on the running board of a bus, or was otherwise attached to the outside of the vehicle, when it collided with a pole, building, or parked car in a private parking lot. This would also be appropriate for an individual injured while performing maintenance on the exterior of a bus that then struck a stationary object in a maintenance yard.
