Occup of 3- or 4- wheeled ATV injured nontraf, init

This code signifies an injury sustained by an individual riding in or on a 3- or 4-wheeled all-terrain vehicle (ATV) during an incident that did not occur on a public roadway. The specific role of the injured person (e.g., driver, passenger) is not documented, and this encounter represents the initial treatment for the injury.

Apply this code when a patient presents with an injury resulting from an ATV accident that happened off-road, such as on private property, trails, or fields. It is appropriate when the medical record does not specify whether the patient was operating or simply riding on the ATV.

• Ensure the documentation clearly states the accident was "nontraffic" and involved a 3- or 4-wheeled ATV.
• Only use this code when the occupant's role (driver, passenger) is unspecified in the medical record.
• The "A" seventh character indicates an initial encounter for active treatment of the injury.
