Person outside 3- or 4- wheeled ATV injured nontraf, subs

This code describes an injury sustained by an individual who was positioned on the exterior of a 3- or 4-wheeled all-terrain vehicle (ATV) during a non-traffic incident. It specifically indicates that this is a subsequent encounter for the injury, meaning the patient is receiving follow-up care after the initial treatment.

Use this code for follow-up visits related to injuries sustained by a person who was not operating or riding inside an ATV but was on its exterior (e.g., being pulled, pushed, or standing on it) when a non-roadway accident occurred. This applies to scenarios such as wound care, fracture follow-up, or physical therapy for injuries from an ATV rollover in a field.

• Ensure the documentation clearly states the patient was on the outside of the ATV, not a passenger or driver.
• Verify the accident occurred in a non-traffic setting, such as off-road, private property, or a recreational trail.
• Confirm this is a subsequent encounter (D) for the injury, not the initial treatment (A) or sequela (S).
