Passenger of special agri vehicle injured nontraf, init

This diagnosis code indicates an injury sustained by an individual who was a passenger in a specialized agricultural vehicle, such as a tractor, combine, or sprayer, when the incident occurred off a public roadway. The injury resulted from an accident that did not involve other vehicles on a traffic thoroughfare.

Apply this code when documenting injuries to individuals riding as passengers in farm machinery involved in incidents like rollovers in a field, collisions with stationary objects on private property, or falls from the vehicle during agricultural operations. This code is appropriate for the initial treatment of such an injury.

• Ensure the documentation clearly specifies the patient was a passenger and not the operator of the agricultural vehicle.
• Verify the accident occurred in a nontraffic setting, such as a farm field, private road, or barnyard.
• Confirm this is the initial encounter for treatment of the injury; subsequent encounters will require different seventh characters.
