Passenger of military vehicle injured nontraf, subs

This code describes an individual who was a passenger in a military vehicle and sustained an injury in an incident that did not occur on a public roadway. This specific code is used for follow-up care or subsequent encounters related to that initial injury.

Apply this code when a patient presents for ongoing treatment, rehabilitation, or follow-up after being injured as a passenger in a military vehicle during an off-road or non-traffic incident. Examples include injuries sustained during training exercises, vehicle rollovers on military bases, or other non-public road accidents.

• Ensure the encounter is for subsequent care, not the initial treatment of the injury.
• Verify the patient was a passenger, not the driver, and the vehicle was military.
• Confirm the accident was a nontraffic event; if it occurred on a public road, a different code would be appropriate.
