Person outside bus inj in nonclsn trnsp acc nontraf, init

This code signifies an injury sustained by an individual who was positioned on the exterior of a bus during a non-collision incident. The accident occurred in a location other than a public roadway, and it represents the initial treatment for the injury.

Apply this code when a patient presents with injuries resulting from being on the outside of a bus that was involved in an accident not involving another vehicle, and the incident took place off a public thoroughfare (e.g., a bus depot, private lot). This code is appropriate for the initial encounter for such an injury.

• Ensure the documentation clearly states the patient was outside the bus, not a passenger or driver.
• Verify the accident was a non-collision event (e.g., falling off, being struck by a part of the bus, or a sudden stop/start).
• Confirm the location was a nontraffic area, such as a private parking lot or maintenance yard.
