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

This code describes an injury sustained by an occupant of a pickup truck or van involved in a non-traffic collision with either a pedestrian or an animal. The specific role of the occupant (e.g., driver, passenger) is not documented. This code is used for the initial treatment of the injury.

Apply this code when a patient presents with an injury resulting from an incident where their pickup truck or van struck a pedestrian or an animal, and the event occurred off a public roadway (e.g., private property, parking lot). This is appropriate when the medical record does not specify if the patient was the driver or a passenger.

• Ensure the accident occurred in a non-traffic setting; otherwise, a different code from the V00-V99 range would be appropriate.
• Verify that the collision involved a pedestrian or an animal, not another vehicle or a fixed object.
• Confirm this is the initial encounter for treatment of the injury; subsequent encounters will require different seventh characters.
