Prsn outsd pk-up/van inj in clsn w rail trn/veh in traf,subs

This code describes an individual who was positioned on the exterior of a pickup truck or van and sustained injuries during a collision with a train or railway vehicle in a traffic accident. The "D" suffix indicates that this is a subsequent encounter for care related to the initial injury.

This code is appropriate for follow-up visits, such as cast changes, wound care, physical therapy, or medication management, for a patient injured in this specific type of railway-related motor vehicle accident. It should be used after the initial acute treatment phase has concluded.

• Ensure the patient was outside the vehicle, not an occupant, and that the vehicle was a pickup truck or van.
• Verify that the injury occurred in a collision with a train or railway vehicle within a traffic accident context.
• Confirm this is a subsequent encounter for care related to the initial injury, not the initial treatment.
