Driver of snowmobile injured in nontraffic accident, subs

This code indicates an injury sustained by an individual operating a snowmobile in an off-road or non-public highway setting. The injury occurred during a follow-up visit for care related to the initial incident.

Apply this code for any subsequent medical care, such as follow-up appointments, cast changes, physical therapy, or medication adjustments, for a snowmobile driver injured in an accident not involving public roadways. This includes incidents on private property, trails, or frozen bodies of water.

• Ensure the documentation clearly states the patient was the driver of the snowmobile.
• Verify the accident occurred in a nontraffic setting.
• Confirm this is for a subsequent encounter, not the initial treatment.
