Driver of pk-up/van inj in clsn w hv veh nontraf, sequela

This code signifies the long-term effects or complications arising from an injury sustained by a pick-up truck or van driver involved in a collision with a large transport vehicle (e.g., semi-truck) or a bus. The accident specifically occurred in a non-traffic setting, such as a private parking lot, farm, or industrial site.

Apply this code when documenting a patient's current condition as a direct consequence of an injury from such an accident, and the initial injury has healed but left residual problems. Examples include chronic pain, limited range of motion, or nerve damage stemming from the original collision.

• This code is for sequelae only; do not use for the initial injury encounter.
• Ensure documentation clearly states the patient was the driver of a pick-up truck or van and the other vehicle was a heavy transport vehicle or bus.
• Verify the accident occurred in a non-traffic environment to differentiate from traffic accidents.
