This code describes injuries sustained by an individual who was positioned outside of a pickup truck or van during a collision with another car, pickup truck, or van. The incident occurred in a non-traffic setting, such as a private driveway or parking lot, and the patient is presenting for follow-up care after the initial injury.

Use this code for subsequent encounters when a patient is being treated for injuries resulting from being on the exterior of a pickup truck or van (e.g., riding in the bed, standing on a running board) during a collision with another light vehicle. This applies to situations like a patient returning for wound care, physical therapy, or follow-up imaging after the initial treatment of such an accident that did not occur on a public roadway.

• Ensure the accident explicitly occurred in a non-traffic environment.
• Verify the patient was outside the vehicle, not an occupant.
• Confirm this is a subsequent encounter for ongoing treatment or follow-up.
