Person injured in collision betw car and bus, nontraf, init

This code signifies an injury sustained by an individual involved in a collision between a car and a bus that occurred off a public roadway. The incident is characterized as the initial presentation for treatment of the injury.

Apply this code when documenting injuries from incidents like a car hitting a bus in a parking lot, a private driveway, or a maintenance yard. It is appropriate for the very first encounter a patient has with healthcare providers for this specific injury.

• Ensure the documentation clearly states the collision was "nontraffic" (i.e., not on a public highway or road).
• Confirm the patient was an occupant or pedestrian involved directly with the car and bus collision.
• Remember the "A" seventh character indicates the initial encounter for care of the injury.
