Person injured in clsn betw car and hv veh, nontraf, subs

This code signifies an injury sustained by an individual involved in a collision between a car and a heavy transport vehicle (e.g., a semi-truck, bus, or large commercial vehicle) that occurred in a non-traffic environment. This includes incidents happening on private property, parking lots, driveways, or industrial sites, and specifically applies to follow-up care for such an injury.

Use this code for subsequent encounters when a patient presents for ongoing treatment, rehabilitation, or follow-up related to injuries sustained in a car-heavy transport vehicle collision that did not occur on a public roadway. Examples include a patient returning for physical therapy after being hit by a delivery truck in a warehouse parking lot, or a follow-up visit for a fracture sustained when their car collided with a tractor-trailer on a private farm road.

• Ensure the documentation clearly specifies a "subsequent encounter" for the injury.
• Verify the collision occurred in a "nontraffic" setting, such as private property or an industrial area.
• Always code the specific injury(ies) first, with this V-code as a secondary diagnosis to describe the external cause.
