Occ of anml-drn veh inj in trnsp acc w miltry vehicle, subs

This code describes an injury sustained by someone riding in an animal-drawn vehicle (e.g., buggy, carriage) during a collision with a military vehicle. The "D" at the end indicates that this is a subsequent encounter for the injury, meaning the patient is receiving follow-up care after the initial treatment.

This code is appropriate for documenting ongoing care, such as wound checks, physical therapy, or medication management, for injuries sustained in such an accident. It would be used after the initial emergency room visit or acute care hospitalization.

• Ensure the documentation clearly states the patient was an occupant of an animal-drawn vehicle and the collision involved a military vehicle.
• Verify that the encounter is for follow-up care of the injury, not the initial treatment.
• Remember to also code all specific injuries sustained by the patient.
