Unsp car occupant injured in collision w van nontraf, init

This code signifies an injury sustained by an occupant of an unspecified type of car during a collision with a van. The incident occurred in a non-traffic environment, such as a parking lot or private property, and represents the initial treatment for the injury.

Apply this code when documenting injuries to a car occupant involved in a crash with a van that did not happen on a public roadway. This is appropriate for the very first encounter for the injury, such as in an emergency department or initial physician visit.

• Ensure the accident definitively occurred in a non-traffic setting.
• Confirm the patient was an occupant of a car, not a pedestrian or bicyclist.
• Verify this is the initial encounter for the injury; subsequent encounters will require a different seventh character.
