This code signifies an injury sustained by an individual involved in a motor vehicle accident where a car collided with a two- or three-wheeled powered vehicle (e.g., motorcycle, moped) on a public roadway. This specific code is used for follow-up care after the initial treatment of the injury.

Apply this code for subsequent encounters such as follow-up appointments, cast changes, wound care, or physical therapy related to injuries from this type of traffic accident. It indicates that the patient is receiving ongoing treatment for an injury that occurred previously.

• Always ensure the encounter is for subsequent care, not the initial treatment.
• Verify the accident involved a car and a two- or three-wheeled powered vehicle in a traffic setting.
• Remember to also code the specific nature of the injury (e.g., fracture, sprain) and any other relevant external cause codes.
