This code signifies that a bus driver sustained injuries in a traffic accident that did not involve a collision with another vehicle or object, and the patient is presenting for follow-up care after the initial treatment. This could include injuries from a bus overturning, jackknifing, or falling from a cliff, occurring on a public roadway.

Apply this code when a bus driver is seen for subsequent treatment, such as wound care, physical therapy, or medication management, related to injuries sustained in a non-collision traffic incident. This code is appropriate for any encounter after the initial emergency room visit or hospitalization for the original injury.

• Ensure the documentation clearly states the patient was the driver of the bus.
• Verify the accident was a non-collision event and occurred in traffic.
• Confirm this is a subsequent encounter for ongoing care related to the initial injury.
