Pasngr on bus injured in nonclsn trnsp acc nontraf, init

This code signifies an injury sustained by a passenger on a bus due to an incident that did not involve a collision with another vehicle or object. The accident occurred in a non-traffic area, such as a private parking lot or bus depot, and represents the initial treatment for the injury.

This code is appropriate for documenting injuries to bus passengers resulting from events like sudden stops, falls within the bus, or being struck by unsecured objects inside the bus, provided these incidents did not involve a collision and occurred off a public roadway. It should be used for the first encounter for this specific injury.

• Ensure the documentation clearly states the patient was a passenger on a bus.
• Verify the accident was a noncollision event and occurred in a nontraffic location.
• Confirm this is the initial encounter for the injury; subsequent care would require a different seventh character.
