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

This code describes the long-term effects or complications arising from an injury sustained by an unspecified occupant of a pickup truck or van. The original injury occurred during a collision with another car, pickup truck, or van, specifically in a non-traffic setting (e.g., parking lot, private property). This code is used when the specific type of occupant (driver, passenger) is not documented.

Apply this code when documenting a sequela (e.g., chronic pain, scar formation, neurological deficits) resulting from a past motor vehicle accident involving a pickup truck or van. The initial injury must have occurred in a non-traffic environment and the specific role of the injured person in the vehicle is unknown. This code is appropriate for follow-up encounters addressing these residual conditions.

• Always use this code as a secondary diagnosis, following the code for the specific sequela being treated.
• Ensure documentation clearly states the injury is a "sequela" of a past accident and specifies the vehicle types involved and the non-traffic setting.
• Avoid using this code if the specific occupant role (driver, passenger) is known; use the more specific sequela codes in the V53.3- category.
