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

This code signifies an injury sustained by an individual during the act of getting on or off a specialized off-road motor vehicle, excluding ATVs, snowmobiles, or other specified types. This particular code is used for follow-up care or subsequent encounters related to the initial injury.

Apply this code when a patient presents for ongoing treatment, follow-up appointments, or complications stemming from an injury that occurred while boarding or alighting from an unspecified special all-terrain or other off-road vehicle. Examples include injuries from custom-built off-road vehicles or specialized utility vehicles not otherwise classified.

• Ensure the encounter is for follow-up care, not the initial injury.
• Verify the vehicle involved was an "other special all-terrain or other off-road motor vehicle" and not a standard car, truck, ATV, or snowmobile.
• Always code the nature of the injury (e.g., fracture, sprain) first, followed by this external cause code.
