Passenger of dune buggy injured in nontraffic accident, subs

This code signifies an injury sustained by an individual who was a passenger in a dune buggy involved in an accident that occurred off a public roadway. The "subsequent encounter" designation indicates that this code is used for follow-up care after the initial treatment for the injury.

Apply this code when documenting ongoing treatment, such as physical therapy, wound care, or follow-up appointments, for a patient who was injured as a passenger in an off-road dune buggy incident. This would be used after the acute phase of care has been completed.

• Ensure the documentation clearly states the patient was a passenger and the vehicle was a dune buggy.
• Verify the accident occurred in a nontraffic setting (e.g., private property, off-road trails).
• Confirm this is for a subsequent encounter and not the initial treatment for the injury.
