Person injured in collision betw hv veh and bus, subs

This code signifies a patient presenting for follow-up care related to injuries sustained in a traffic accident involving a heavy transport vehicle (e.g., truck, tractor-trailer) and a bus. It indicates that the initial injury occurred in this specific type of collision and the current encounter is for ongoing management, rehabilitation, or assessment of those injuries.

Use this code for subsequent encounters when a patient is receiving care for injuries directly resulting from a collision between a heavy transport vehicle and a bus. This includes follow-up appointments for fracture care, wound checks, physical therapy, or re-evaluation of internal injuries sustained in such an event.

• Ensure the encounter is for follow-up care, not the initial injury presentation.
• Confirm the mechanism of injury specifically involved a heavy transport vehicle and a bus in a traffic setting.
• Always code the specific injury(ies) first, with this code as an external cause code to provide context.
