Person outside special agri vehicle injured nontraf, init

This code signifies an injury sustained by an individual who was positioned outside of a specialized agricultural vehicle, such as a tractor, combine, or sprayer, when the incident occurred. The accident itself was not traffic-related, meaning it did not involve a collision with another vehicle on a public roadway. This code is for the initial treatment of the injury.

Apply this code when documenting injuries to farm workers or bystanders who were, for example, struck by a piece of equipment while standing near it, fell from a stationary agricultural vehicle, or were caught in machinery while performing maintenance. This code is appropriate for the first encounter for treatment of the injury.

• Ensure the documentation clearly states the person was outside the vehicle at the time of the non-traffic accident.
• Verify the vehicle involved is specifically an "agricultural vehicle" (e.g., tractor, combine, baler).
• Remember the "A" suffix indicates an initial encounter for care.
