Ped w convey injured pick-up truck, pk-up/van in traf, subs

This code signifies that a pedestrian sustained injuries in a traffic accident involving a car, pickup truck, or van, and the pedestrian was also interacting with another conveyance (e.g., skateboard, scooter, roller skates) at the time of the collision. This particular code is used for follow-up care related to these injuries, indicating that the initial treatment has already been coded.

Apply this code when documenting subsequent encounters for a patient who was injured as a pedestrian, while using another conveyance, in a collision with a car, pickup truck, or van. This includes follow-up appointments for wound care, physical therapy, or monitoring of healing from fractures or other injuries sustained in such an event. It is appropriate for any visit after the initial acute care for the accident.

• Always use this code as a secondary diagnosis, following the primary injury code(s).
• Ensure documentation clearly states the patient was a pedestrian with another conveyance and the type of vehicle involved.
• Verify that the encounter is indeed a subsequent visit for the accident-related injuries, not the initial treatment.
