This code signifies an injury sustained by an individual involved in a traffic accident where a car collided with a two-wheeled (e.g., motorcycle) or three-wheeled powered vehicle. It specifically indicates that this is the initial presentation or treatment for the injury resulting from this particular incident.

Use this code when documenting the initial encounter for a patient who has been injured in a motor vehicle accident involving a car and a powered two- or three-wheeled vehicle on a public roadway. This applies whether the patient was an occupant of the car or the powered vehicle.

• Ensure the documentation clearly states the patient is presenting for the initial treatment of the injury.
• Verify that the collision involved a car and a powered two- or three-wheeled vehicle, not bicycles or other non-powered vehicles.
• Confirm the incident occurred in a traffic setting (e.g., public road, highway).
