Unsp bus occupant injured in clsn w unsp mv in traf, init

This code describes an injury sustained by an individual who was a passenger in a bus involved in a traffic accident with another motor vehicle. The specific type of bus, the other motor vehicle, and the nature of the collision are not detailed in the documentation. This code is used for the initial encounter for treatment of the injury.

This code is appropriate when a patient presents for initial treatment of an injury sustained as an occupant of a bus involved in a collision with another unspecified motor vehicle. It should be used when the medical record lacks specific details about the bus type, the other vehicle involved, or the exact circumstances of the traffic accident.

• Ensure documentation clearly states the patient was a bus occupant and the incident was a traffic accident involving another motor vehicle.
• Only use this code for the initial encounter for treatment of the injury. Subsequent encounters will require a different seventh character.
• If more specific details about the bus, the other vehicle, or the collision are available, a more precise external cause code should be selected.
