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

This code signifies a long-term or late-developing health issue resulting from an individual being a passenger in a pick-up truck or van involved in a traffic collision with another car, pick-up truck, or van. It indicates that the initial injury has resolved, but a residual effect or complication persists.

Apply this code when documenting a patient presenting with a chronic condition, disability, or ongoing symptom directly attributable to a past motor vehicle accident where they were a passenger in a pick-up truck or van. This is used for follow-up encounters after the initial acute injury has been treated and the patient is experiencing sequelae.

• Always sequence this code after the code(s) for the specific sequela (e.g., chronic pain, scar, limited range of motion).
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to the past traffic accident.
• This code is for the "sequela" phase, not the initial acute injury encounter.
