Occup of pk-up/van inj pk-up truck, pk-up/van nontraf, subs

This code signifies an injury sustained by an unspecified occupant of a pick-up truck or van during a collision with another car, pick-up truck, or van. The accident occurred in a non-traffic setting, such as a parking lot or private property, and the patient is presenting for follow-up care after the initial treatment.

This code is appropriate for documenting subsequent encounters for injuries sustained in vehicle-to-vehicle collisions that did not occur on a public roadway. Examples include follow-up appointments for sprains, fractures, or contusions resulting from a fender bender in a private parking garage or a collision on a farm.

• Ensure the accident definitively occurred in a non-traffic area.
• Verify the patient is receiving follow-up care, not initial treatment, for the injury.
• Confirm the vehicles involved were a pick-up truck/van and another car/pick-up truck/van.
