Prsn brd/alit a 3-whl mv inj pick-up truck, pk-up/van, subs

This code describes an injury sustained by an individual who was in the process of getting on or off a three-wheeled motor vehicle when it collided with a car, pickup truck, or van. The "D" suffix indicates that this is a subsequent encounter, meaning the patient is receiving follow-up care for an injury initially treated at an earlier encounter.

Use this code when documenting ongoing treatment, such as cast changes, wound care, or physical therapy, for a patient whose initial injury resulted from this specific type of motor vehicle accident. This applies after the acute phase of treatment has concluded.

• Ensure the documentation clearly states the patient was boarding or alighting the three-wheeled vehicle at the time of impact.
• Verify that the other vehicle involved was specifically a car, pickup truck, or van.
• Confirm that this is not the initial encounter for the injury; otherwise, an "A" (initial encounter) suffix would be appropriate.
