Prsn brd/alit pk-up/van injured in clsn w ped/anml, subs

This code signifies an injury sustained by an individual who was in the process of getting on or off a pick-up truck or van, and was subsequently involved in a collision with either a pedestrian or an animal. The "D" seventh character indicates that this is a subsequent encounter for the injury, meaning the patient is receiving routine care during the healing or recovery phase.

Use this code for follow-up visits related to injuries from the described incident, such as wound care, cast changes, or physical therapy. This applies when the patient is no longer in the acute phase of treatment but still requires ongoing management for the initial injury.

• Ensure the patient was specifically boarding or alighting the vehicle, not merely a passenger.
• Verify the collision involved a pedestrian or an animal, not another vehicle or object.
• Confirm this is a subsequent encounter; initial treatment would use the "A" seventh character.
