Person injured in unsp nonmotor-vehicle acc, traffic, subs

This code signifies an injury sustained by an individual in a traffic accident that did not involve a motor vehicle, and it is being reported for a follow-up visit or ongoing treatment. The specific type of non-motor vehicle involved in the incident is not documented or is unknown.

Apply this code for subsequent encounters when a patient is receiving continued care for injuries resulting from a traffic accident where the mode of transport was not a motor vehicle (e.g., pedestrian, cyclist, skateboarder) and the specific vehicle type is not specified. This includes follow-up appointments, medication refills, or physical therapy sessions related to the initial injury.

• Always ensure "subsequent encounter" is appropriate for the patient's visit.
• Prioritize more specific codes if the type of non-motor vehicle is known (e.g., pedestrian, pedal cyclist).
• Remember to also code the specific injury sustained by the patient.
