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

This code signifies an injury sustained by an individual who was an occupant of a bus involved in a traffic accident with another motor vehicle. The specific type of bus (e.g., school bus, public transit bus) is not specified, nor is the exact nature of the injury.

Use this code when documentation indicates a patient was injured while riding as an unspecified occupant in a bus that collided with another motor vehicle on a public roadway. This code is appropriate for the initial treatment of the injury.

• Ensure documentation clearly states the patient was a bus occupant and the collision involved another motor vehicle.
• Always sequence this external cause code after the primary injury code(s).
• Do not use if the bus was stationary or if the collision was with a non-motorized object or pedestrian.
