Occupant of streetcar injured in oth transport acc, subs

This code describes an injury sustained by an individual who was an occupant of a streetcar involved in a transport accident other than a collision with another vehicle or pedestrian. The "subsequent encounter" designation indicates that the patient is receiving follow-up care for an injury that occurred previously.

This code is appropriate for documenting ongoing treatment, such as wound care, physical therapy, or follow-up appointments, for injuries sustained by a streetcar occupant in a non-collision transport accident. Examples include injuries from a sudden stop, derailment, or impact with an object not considered another vehicle or pedestrian.

• Ensure the documentation clearly specifies the patient was an occupant of a streetcar and the accident was not a collision with another vehicle or pedestrian.
• The "D" suffix is crucial for subsequent encounters; do not use for initial treatment.
• Always code the specific injury(ies) sustained in addition to this external cause code.
