Occupant of streetcar injured by fall in streetcar, init

This code signifies an injury sustained by a person who was a passenger in a streetcar and fell within the streetcar itself. The injury is a direct result of the fall, not a collision or external impact to the streetcar.

This code is appropriate for documenting initial encounters where a patient presents with injuries such as fractures, sprains, or contusions, resulting from an unassisted fall inside a moving or stationary streetcar. It applies when the fall is the primary mechanism of injury, distinct from being struck by the streetcar or involved in a streetcar collision.

• Ensure the documentation clearly states the patient was an "occupant" of a "streetcar" and the injury was due to a "fall."
• Verify this is the "initial encounter" for the injury; subsequent care would require a different seventh character.
• Do not use this code if the patient was struck by the streetcar or injured in a streetcar-involved collision.
