Passenger of special construct vehicle injured nontraf, subs

This code signifies an injury sustained by an individual who was a passenger in a specialized construction vehicle (e.g., bulldozer, excavator, road roller) during an accident that occurred off a public roadway. The "D" seventh character indicates that this is a subsequent encounter for care of the injury, meaning the patient is receiving follow-up treatment after the initial acute phase.

Apply this code when documenting ongoing care for a passenger injured in an incident involving a construction vehicle on a private construction site, farm, or other non-traffic area. Examples include follow-up visits for physical therapy, wound care, or medication management related to fractures, sprains, or other injuries from such an event.

• Ensure the accident explicitly occurred in a non-traffic setting.
• Verify the patient was a passenger, not the driver, and the vehicle was a special construction type.
• The "D" seventh character is crucial for subsequent encounters; do not use for initial treatment.
