Pasngr in pk-up/van inj pk-up truck, pk-up/van in traf, subs

This code signifies an injury sustained by an individual who was a passenger in a pick-up truck or van involved in a motor vehicle accident with another car, pick-up truck, or van. The "D" in the seventh character indicates this is a subsequent encounter, meaning the patient is receiving follow-up care for an injury that occurred in this type of traffic accident.

Apply this code when documenting ongoing treatment, such as physical therapy, wound care, or follow-up appointments, for a passenger injured in the specified vehicle collision. This is appropriate after the initial acute care for the accident has been rendered.

• Ensure the patient was explicitly a passenger, not the driver, of the pick-up truck or van.
• Verify the collision involved another car, pick-up truck, or van, and occurred in traffic.
• Confirm this is for a subsequent visit, not the initial treatment for the injury.
