Prsn brd/alit pk-up/van injured in collision w hv veh, init

This code signifies an injury sustained by an individual who was in the process of entering or exiting a pick-up truck or van when it was involved in a collision with a large commercial vehicle, such as a semi-truck or passenger bus. The injury occurred during the initial presentation for care related to this specific incident.

Apply this code when documenting injuries from a motor vehicle accident where the patient was a pedestrian-like occupant (boarding/alighting) of a pick-up truck or van, and the other vehicle involved was a heavy transport vehicle or bus. This is appropriate for the initial encounter for treatment of these injuries.

• Ensure the patient's status as "boarding or alighting" is clearly documented, not merely an occupant.
• Verify the type of vehicles involved: pick-up truck/van and heavy transport vehicle/bus.
• Confirm this is the first time the patient is being seen for this specific injury event.
