Accident to, on or involving cable-car, not on rails, subs

This code indicates a patient's follow-up care for injuries sustained in an incident involving a cable car that operates without rails, such as an aerial tramway or gondola lift. It signifies that the initial treatment for the acute injury has already been provided, and the current encounter is for ongoing management, healing, or complications.

Apply this code for subsequent visits related to injuries from non-rail cable car accidents, such as physical therapy for a fracture, wound care for lacerations, or follow-up appointments for concussion management. It is appropriate when the patient is no longer in the acute phase of injury but still receiving care directly related to the incident.

• Ensure the encounter is for follow-up care, not the initial treatment.
• Always code with additional injury codes to specify the nature of the trauma.
• Verify the cable car involved was explicitly not on rails to differentiate from rail-based incidents.
