Person outsd pk-up/van inj in clsn w hv veh nontraf, sequela

This code describes the long-term effects or complications resulting from an individual being injured while riding on the exterior of a pickup truck or van, specifically when that vehicle collided with a heavy transport vehicle or bus. The accident occurred in a non-traffic setting, meaning it did not happen on a public roadway.

Use this code for patients presenting with sequelae (e.g., chronic pain, neurological deficits, scarring, or psychological trauma) directly attributable to such an incident. This applies when the initial injury has healed, but its lasting consequences are being treated or evaluated.

• Ensure the documentation clearly states the patient was an "outside occupant" of the pickup truck or van.
• Verify the collision involved a "heavy transport vehicle or bus" and occurred in a "nontraffic accident" setting.
• This code is for sequelae; an additional code for the specific sequela (e.g., chronic pain, fracture nonunion) should also be reported.
