Person injured in unsp nonmotor-vehicle acc, nontraf, init

This code signifies an injury sustained by an individual in an accident that did not involve a motor vehicle and occurred in a non-traffic setting. The specific type of non-motor vehicle accident is unknown or not documented. This code is for the initial treatment of the injury.

Use this code when a patient presents with an injury resulting from an accident where the mode of transport was not a motor vehicle, and the incident did not occur on a public roadway or traffic area. This applies when the exact nature of the non-motor vehicle accident (e.g., fall, struck by object) is not specified in the documentation.

• Only use this code when the documentation explicitly states the accident was non-motor vehicle and non-traffic, and the specific cause is unknown.
• Always attempt to query for more specific details regarding the accident type (e.g., fall, struck by, animal bite) to allow for a more precise external cause code.
• Ensure the "A" seventh character for initial encounter is appropriate for the patient's current visit.
