Occ of anml-drn vehicle injured in clsn w nonmtr veh, subs

This code signifies a patient who was an occupant of an animal-drawn vehicle and sustained injuries from a collision with another non-motorized vehicle. The "D" suffix indicates that this is a subsequent encounter, meaning the patient is receiving follow-up care for injuries initially treated in an earlier encounter.

Use this code when a patient presents for ongoing treatment, such as wound care, physical therapy, or follow-up imaging, for injuries sustained in an accident where their animal-drawn vehicle collided with another non-motorized vehicle (e.g., bicycle, another animal-drawn vehicle). This code is appropriate after the initial acute phase of treatment has concluded.

• Ensure the documentation clearly states the patient was an occupant of an animal-drawn vehicle and the collision involved another non-motorized vehicle.
• Verify that the encounter is for follow-up care of the injury, not the initial treatment.
• Always code the specific injury(ies) sustained in addition to this external cause code.
