Occ of anml-drn veh inj in clsn w animal being ridden, subs

This code signifies an injury sustained by an individual riding in an animal-drawn vehicle (e.g., a buggy, carriage) when that vehicle collides with an animal that is being ridden (e.g., a horse with a rider). The "D" suffix indicates that this is a subsequent encounter for the injury, meaning the patient is receiving follow-up care after the initial treatment.

Use this code for follow-up visits, cast changes, medication adjustments, or therapy sessions related to injuries sustained in such an incident. This applies when the patient is an occupant of the animal-drawn vehicle, not the rider of the other animal or a pedestrian.

• Ensure the encounter is for follow-up care, not the initial treatment.
• Verify the patient was an occupant of the animal-drawn vehicle, not the rider of the animal being ridden.
• Confirm the collision involved an animal-drawn vehicle and a ridden animal.
