Person injured wh brd/alit from streetcar, subs

This code signifies an injury sustained by an individual during the act of getting on or off a streetcar, specifically for a follow-up visit after the initial treatment. It indicates that the patient is receiving ongoing care for an injury that occurred in this specific transportation-related context.

Use this code for subsequent encounters when a patient presents for follow-up care, such as wound checks, physical therapy, or medication adjustments, related to an injury sustained while boarding or alighting a streetcar. This applies after the initial emergency room visit or acute care for the injury has concluded.

• Always ensure the encounter is for follow-up care, not the initial treatment.
• Verify the injury mechanism specifically involves a streetcar and the act of boarding or alighting.
• Remember to also code the specific nature of the injury (e.g., fracture, sprain) as a primary diagnosis.
