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

This code describes injuries sustained by an individual who was getting on or off a bus during a non-collision transportation incident, specifically for follow-up care. This indicates that the initial treatment for the injury has already occurred, and the patient is now receiving ongoing management or evaluation related to the original event.

Apply this code for subsequent encounters when a patient presents for follow-up care, such as wound checks, physical therapy, or medication adjustments, for injuries sustained while boarding or alighting a bus in an accident that did not involve a collision with another vehicle or object. This includes scenarios like a fall from the bus steps or being caught in the door, where the initial injury occurred during the act of entering or exiting.

• Always sequence this external cause code after the primary injury code(s).
• Ensure the "D" seventh character is appropriate for a subsequent encounter, indicating ongoing care.
• Verify documentation clearly states the injury occurred during boarding or alighting and was not a collision.
