This code describes an injury sustained by an unspecified occupant of a pickup truck or van involved in a traffic accident with a heavy transport vehicle or bus. The "subsequent encounter" designation indicates this code is used for follow-up care after the initial treatment of the injury.

This applies when the patient was in a pickup truck or van and the other vehicle was a large truck or bus.

• Verify the patient was an occupant of a pickup truck or van and the other vehicle was a heavy transport vehicle or bus.
• Confirm the accident occurred in traffic.
