Driver of pk-up/van inj in clsn w ped/anml in traf, sequela

This code indicates a long-term or late-effect condition resulting from a past traffic accident where the driver of a pickup truck or van collided with a pedestrian or an animal. The injury or condition being treated is a direct consequence of that specific incident, which occurred in the past.

Use this code when documenting a sequela (e.g., chronic pain, scar tissue, neurological deficits) that is directly attributable to a previous collision between a pickup truck/van driver and a pedestrian or animal. This applies when the patient is presenting for treatment of these lasting effects, not the initial acute injury.

• Always sequence the code for the specific sequela (e.g., chronic pain, fracture nonunion) first, followed by this sequela code.
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to the past traffic accident involving a pickup truck/van and a pedestrian/animal.
• This code is for the driver of the pickup truck or van, not the pedestrian or animal.
