Occup of pk-up/van inj in clsn w 2/3-whl mv in traf, sequela

This code describes the long-term effects or complications arising from an injury sustained by an unidentifiable occupant of a pick-up truck or van. The original injury occurred during a traffic accident where their vehicle collided with a motorcycle or moped, and the specific nature of the occupant's role (e.g., driver, passenger) is unknown.

This code is used when documenting a sequela (e.g., chronic pain, scar, limited range of motion) resulting from a past motor vehicle accident involving a pick-up truck/van and a two- or three-wheeled motor vehicle. It is appropriate when the exact occupant status within the pick-up truck/van cannot be determined from the medical record.

• Always assign this code as a secondary diagnosis, following the code for the specific sequela being treated.
• Ensure the medical record clearly links the current condition to the past traffic accident and specifies the vehicles involved.
• Avoid using this code if the occupant's role (e.g., driver, front seat passenger) is known; instead, use a more specific V-code.
