Driver of bus injured in nonclsn trnsp acc nontraf, subs

This code indicates that a bus driver sustained injuries from a non-collision transport incident that occurred in a non-traffic setting, and this particular encounter represents a follow-up visit for the sustained injuries. A non-collision transport accident involves events like a vehicle overturning or falling, but without impact with another vehicle or object. A non-traffic accident refers to incidents occurring on private property or off public roadways.

This code is appropriate for subsequent encounters when a bus driver is receiving ongoing treatment for injuries sustained in an incident such as the bus rolling over in a private parking lot, or the driver falling within the bus while it was in motion on private property, without colliding with another vehicle or object. It should be used for any visit after the initial encounter for these specific circumstances.

• Ensure the patient is explicitly documented as the "driver" of a "bus" and the incident is a "noncollision transport accident" in a "nontraffic" location.
• Verify that this is a "subsequent encounter" (D) for the injury, not the initial treatment.
• Always code the specific injury(ies) sustained by the driver in addition to this external cause code.
