Question

What is/are the external cause code(s) for a passenger involved in a mva that lost control on the highway and hits a guardrail?

Answer 1

Here is the answer. The external cause code for a passenger that is involved in a MVA that lost control on the highway and hits a guardrail is E815. Your fifth digit is a 1 for a motor vehicle passenger. You would use an additional E code when a place of occurrence (example, home or parking lot) is documented. In this case, the location is documented as the highway. Hope this helps.
