Person outside special industr vehicle injured nontraf, subs

This code signifies an injury sustained by an individual who was positioned outside of a specialized industrial vehicle, such as a forklift, crane, or bulldozer, during an accident that did not occur on a public roadway. The "D" seventh character indicates that this is a subsequent encounter for care after the initial treatment of the injury.

This code is appropriate for documenting follow-up care, such as wound checks, physical therapy, or medication adjustments, for injuries sustained in industrial settings where a person outside a specialized vehicle was involved in a non-traffic incident. Examples include being struck by a moving part of the vehicle, falling from the vehicle while it was stationary, or being caught between the vehicle and another object on private property.

• Ensure the documentation clearly states the patient was outside the vehicle at the time of the incident.
• Verify the accident occurred in a non-traffic environment, such as a construction site, warehouse, or factory floor.
• Confirm this is a subsequent encounter for the injury, not the initial treatment.
