Pasngr in pk-up/van injured in clsn w hv veh nontraf, subs

This code describes injuries sustained by a passenger in a pickup truck or van involved in a collision with a large commercial vehicle (e.g., semi-truck, bus) that occurred in a non-traffic setting, such as a parking lot or private property. It specifically indicates that the patient is presenting for follow-up care for these injuries.

This code is appropriate for subsequent encounters when a patient, who was a passenger in a pickup truck or van, is receiving ongoing treatment for injuries resulting from a collision with a heavy transport vehicle or bus that did not occur on a public roadway. Examples include follow-up appointments for fracture management, physical therapy, or wound care related to the initial incident.

• Ensure the encounter is for follow-up care, not the initial treatment.
• Verify the patient was a passenger in a pickup truck or van, not the driver or a pedestrian.
• Confirm the collision involved a heavy transport vehicle or bus and occurred in a non-traffic area.
