Prsn outsd pk-up/van inj in clsn w 2/3-whl mv in traf, subs

This code signifies an injury sustained by an individual who was positioned on the exterior of a pick-up truck or van when it collided with a motorcycle, moped, or similar two- or three-wheeled motor vehicle. The "subsequent encounter" designation indicates that this code is used for follow-up care after the initial treatment for the injury.

Apply this code for any ongoing treatment, such as wound care, physical therapy, or follow-up appointments, related to injuries sustained in the described traffic accident. This includes scenarios where the patient is returning for evaluation of healing, management of complications, or rehabilitation services.

• Ensure the documentation clearly states the patient was on the outside of the pick-up truck or van at the time of the collision.
• Verify that the collision involved a two- or three-wheeled motor vehicle, not another type of vehicle.
• Confirm this is not the initial encounter for the injury; otherwise, a different seventh character would be required.
