Prsn brd/alit from bus injured in nonclsn trnsp acc, init

This code describes an injury sustained by an individual while getting on or off a bus, specifically when no other vehicle or object was involved in a collision. The injury results from a non-collision transport accident, such as a fall from the steps or being caught in a closing door.

This code is appropriate for documenting injuries that occur during the act of boarding or alighting from a bus, where the incident is not a result of a crash with another vehicle or object. Examples include a patient twisting an ankle while stepping off a bus, or sustaining a bruise from a sudden stop while standing to exit.

• Ensure the documentation clearly states the injury occurred during boarding or alighting from a bus, and not during travel within the bus.
• Verify that the accident was non-collision related; if a collision occurred, a different code from the V7x series would be more appropriate.
• Remember the "A" suffix indicates an initial encounter for treatment of the injury.
