This code identifies an individual who was a passenger in a pick-up truck or van involved in a traffic accident where the vehicle collided with a motorcycle, scooter, or moped. The injury sustained occurred during the initial presentation for care related to this specific incident.

Apply this code when documenting injuries to a passenger of a pick-up truck or van following a collision with a two- or three-wheeled motor vehicle on a public roadway. This is appropriate for the initial visit or encounter for treatment of the injuries resulting from this accident.

• Always use in conjunction with an injury code describing the specific nature of the injury sustained.
• Ensure the patient's role is explicitly documented as a "passenger" and the vehicle types involved match the code description.
• Verify the encounter is the "initial encounter" for treatment of the accident-related injuries.
