Person outsd pk-up/van inj in clsn w ped/anml nontraf, subs

This code describes injuries sustained by an individual who was positioned on the exterior of a pickup truck or van during a non-traffic collision involving a pedestrian or an animal. It specifically indicates that the encounter is a subsequent one, meaning the patient is receiving follow-up care for injuries sustained in the initial incident.

Apply this code for follow-up visits related to injuries (e.g., fractures, sprains, contusions) sustained when a person was riding on the outside of a pickup truck or van and collided with a pedestrian or animal in a non-roadway setting. This includes scenarios like off-road incidents, private property accidents, or parking lot collisions.

• Ensure the documentation clearly states the patient was on the outside of the vehicle, not inside.
• Verify the collision involved a pedestrian or an animal, and that it was a nontraffic accident.
• Confirm this is a subsequent encounter for the injury, not the initial treatment.
