Prsn brd/alit a car injured in collision w van, subs

This code describes an injury sustained by an individual who was in the process of entering or exiting a car when that car was involved in a collision with a van. The "subsequent encounter" designation indicates that this code is used for follow-up care after the initial treatment of the injury.

Apply this code for any subsequent medical visits related to injuries from this specific type of motor vehicle accident. This includes follow-up appointments, rehabilitation, or management of complications arising from the initial incident. It should be used after the acute phase of treatment has concluded.

• Ensure the documentation clearly states the patient was boarding or alighting a car, not merely a passenger.
• Verify the collision involved a van as the other vehicle type.
• Confirm this is not the initial encounter for the injury; look for terms like "follow-up," "re-evaluation," or "rehab."
