Person injured in unsp motor-vehicle accident, nontraf, init

This code signifies an injury sustained by an individual in a motor vehicle accident that occurred in an area not open to public traffic, such as a private driveway, parking lot, or farm. The specific type of motor vehicle involved is unknown or not documented. This code is for the initial treatment of the injury.

Use this code when a patient presents with injuries resulting from a motor vehicle accident that clearly did not happen on a public road, highway, or other trafficway. This is appropriate when the documentation does not specify the type of vehicle (e.g., car, truck, motorcycle) involved. It is also used for the very first encounter for this specific injury.

• Ensure documentation explicitly states the accident occurred in a non-traffic area.
• Only use this code when the type of motor vehicle is truly unspecified.
• Append with subsequent encounter (D) or sequela (S) for later visits related to the same injury.
