Person inj in clsn betw car and 2/3-whl mv, nontraf, init

This code signifies an injury sustained by an individual involved in a collision between a car and a two- or three-wheeled motor vehicle (e.g., motorcycle, scooter, moped) that occurred in a non-traffic area. The "initial encounter" designation indicates that this code is used for the first time a patient is receiving active treatment for this specific injury.

This code is appropriate for documenting injuries from incidents like a car hitting a motorcycle in a parking lot, a private driveway, or on private property. It applies when the patient is first seen for treatment of the injuries resulting from such an event.

• Ensure the documentation clearly specifies a non-traffic location for the collision.
• Verify that the collision involved a car and a two- or three-wheeled motor vehicle.
• Confirm this is the initial encounter for treatment of the injury; subsequent care would use a different seventh character.
