Occupant of anml-drn vehicle injured in unsp trnsp acc, subs

This code signifies an injury sustained by an individual riding in a vehicle pulled by an animal, such as a horse-drawn carriage or wagon, during an unspecified transport accident. The "subsequent encounter" designation indicates that the patient is receiving follow-up care for an injury that occurred in the past.

This code is appropriate for documenting ongoing treatment, healing, or complications related to an injury from an animal-drawn vehicle accident where the specific nature of the accident is not detailed. Examples include follow-up visits for a fracture sustained in such an incident, or physical therapy for a sprain.

• Ensure the documentation clearly states the patient was an occupant of an animal-drawn vehicle and the encounter is for follow-up care.
• Avoid using this code if the specific type of transport accident (e.g., collision with pedestrian, non-collision accident) is known; a more specific code from the V80 category should be used instead.
• Always code the specific injury first, followed by this external cause code.
