Person outside bus inj in nonclsn trnsp acc nontraf, subs

This code describes an injury sustained by an individual who was positioned on the exterior of a bus, not as an occupant, during a transport accident that did not involve a collision with another vehicle or object. The incident occurred in a non-traffic environment, such as a private lot or depot, and represents a subsequent encounter for this injury.

This code is appropriate for follow-up care related to injuries sustained by a person who was, for example, riding on the outside steps or hanging onto the side of a bus in a private parking area, and was injured when the bus moved or stopped unexpectedly without colliding with anything. It should be used for subsequent visits after the initial treatment of such an injury.

• Ensure the documentation clearly specifies the patient was outside the bus, not an occupant.
• Verify the accident occurred in a nontraffic area (e.g., private property, maintenance yard).
• Confirm this is a subsequent encounter for the injury, not the initial treatment.
