Ped w convey injured pick-up truck, pk-up/van, unsp, init

This code describes an injury sustained by a pedestrian who was using a "conveyance" (e.g., skateboard, rollerblades, scooter, wheelchair) and was involved in a collision with a car, pickup truck, or van. The specific circumstances of the accident, such as whether it occurred on a public road or private property, are not documented or are unknown.

This code is appropriate for initial encounters when a patient presents with injuries resulting from being struck by a car, pickup truck, or van while they were operating or being propelled by a non-motorized device. It should be used when the documentation does not specify if the incident was a traffic or nontraffic accident.

• Ensure the documentation clearly identifies the patient as a pedestrian using a conveyance and the other vehicle as a car, pickup truck, or van.
• Only use this code for the initial encounter for treatment of the injury. Subsequent encounters will require a different seventh character.
• Do not use this code if the pedestrian was not using a conveyance or if the other vehicle was not a car, pickup truck, or van.
