Person injured in oth nonclsn transport acc w mtr veh, subs

This code signifies a patient presenting for follow-up care or complications stemming from an injury sustained in a traffic-related incident involving a motor vehicle, where the injury was not due to a collision. This includes scenarios like being struck by a falling object from a moving vehicle, or being injured while entering/exiting a vehicle in traffic.

Apply this code when documenting subsequent encounters for injuries such as fractures, sprains, or contusions that occurred in a non-collision motor vehicle traffic accident. This is appropriate for rehabilitation visits, medication refills, or wound care related to the initial injury.

• Ensure the encounter is for follow-up care, not the initial treatment, as indicated by the "D" seventh character.
• Verify the accident involved a motor vehicle in traffic and was explicitly not a collision.
• Always code the specific injury first, followed by this external cause code.
