Ped on foot injured pick-up truck, pk-up/van in traf, subs

This code describes a pedestrian who sustained injuries in a traffic accident involving a car, pickup truck, or van, and is now presenting for follow-up care, rehabilitation, or management of complications. It indicates that the initial injury has already been treated, and the patient is in a subsequent phase of care related to the original incident.

Use this code for any encounter after the initial treatment of injuries sustained by a pedestrian hit by a car, pickup truck, or van in a traffic accident. This includes visits for wound care, physical therapy, occupational therapy, follow-up imaging, or management of delayed complications.

• Always assign an external cause code (V-code) in conjunction with the specific injury codes to fully describe the patient's condition.
• Ensure the "D" seventh character is used for subsequent encounters, indicating active treatment or recovery phase.
• Verify the mode of transport (pedestrian) and the type of vehicle involved (car, pickup, van) to ensure accurate code selection.
