Pasngr in pk-up/van injured in clsn w ped/anml nontraf, init

This code describes injuries sustained by a passenger in a pick-up truck or van when the vehicle collides with a pedestrian or an animal. The collision must occur in a non-traffic environment, such as a private driveway, parking lot, or off-road area. This specific code is for the initial treatment of the injury.

Use this code when documenting the initial encounter for a patient who was a passenger in a pick-up truck or van involved in an accident with a pedestrian or animal outside of a public roadway. Examples include a passenger injured when a truck hits a deer on a private ranch or a van strikes a person in a parking garage.

• Ensure the patient was a passenger and not the driver.
• Verify the accident occurred in a nontraffic area.
• Confirm the collision was with a pedestrian or animal.
