Driver of bus injured in nonclsn trnsp acc in traf, init

This code identifies an injury sustained by the driver of a bus involved in a non-collision transportation incident that occurred on a public roadway. This type of incident does not involve impact with another vehicle or object, but rather events like a bus overturning, jackknifing, or catching fire while in traffic. The "A" suffix indicates this is for the initial encounter for treatment of the injury.

Apply this code when documenting injuries to a bus driver resulting from a single-vehicle incident on a public road, such as a bus rolling over, running off the road, or experiencing a mechanical failure leading to an accident without striking another vehicle. This is appropriate for the initial medical evaluation and treatment of the driver's injuries.

• Ensure the documentation clearly states the patient was the driver of the bus.
• Verify the accident was a non-collision event (e.g., rollover, fire, mechanical failure) and occurred in traffic.
• Confirm this is the initial encounter for the injury; subsequent encounters will require different seventh characters.
