Occup of bus injured in nonclsn trnsp accident nontraf, init

This code signifies an injury sustained by an individual riding in a bus, where the injury was not due to a collision with another vehicle or object. The incident occurred in a non-traffic environment, such as a private parking lot or bus depot, and the specific role of the injured person (e.g., driver, passenger) is not documented. This is for the initial treatment of the injury.

Apply this code when a patient presents with an injury sustained while on a bus, and the documentation clearly states the accident was non-collisional and occurred off a public roadway. Examples include a passenger falling inside a bus due to sudden braking in a private lot, or an occupant being injured by a shifting load within the bus while it was maneuvering in a depot.

• Ensure the documentation explicitly states "noncollision" and "nontraffic accident" to support this specific code.
• Confirm the encounter is for the initial treatment of the injury. Subsequent encounters will require a different seventh character.
• If the occupant's specific role (e.g., driver, passenger) is known, a more specific code within the V7x series should be used.
