Person injured wh brd/alit from oth sp off-rd mv, init

This code signifies an injury sustained by an individual during the act of getting on or off a specialized off-road vehicle, excluding ATVs, snowmobiles, or other common off-road vehicles. This includes vehicles like dune buggies, swamp buggies, or custom-built off-road machines. The "initial encounter" designation indicates the patient is receiving active treatment for the injury.

Apply this code when documentation clearly states an injury occurred during the boarding or alighting process of an uncommon, specialized all-terrain or off-road motor vehicle. This would be appropriate for patients presenting to the emergency department or clinic for initial evaluation and treatment of such an injury.

• Ensure the documentation specifies the type of off-road vehicle to differentiate from more common categories.
• Verify the injury occurred specifically during the act of entering or exiting the vehicle, not while operating it.
• Confirm this is the patient's first encounter for active treatment of this specific injury.
