Prsn brd/alit other mtrcy injured pick-up truck/van, init

This code signifies an injury sustained by an individual who was in the process of getting on or off a motorcycle (not a moped or motorized bicycle) when it was involved in a collision with a car, pickup truck, or van. The injury occurred during the initial presentation for care.

Apply this code when documenting injuries from a motor vehicle accident where the patient was a pedestrian-like occupant of a motorcycle, specifically during the act of boarding or alighting, and the other vehicle involved was a car, pickup truck, or van. This code is appropriate for the initial treatment of the injury.

• Ensure the patient's role was "boarding or alighting" the motorcycle, not actively riding it.
• Verify the other vehicle involved was a car, pickup truck, or van.
• Remember the "A" suffix indicates an initial encounter for the injury.
