Prsn outsd pk-up/van inj in clsn w nonmtr veh nontraf, init

This code describes an injury sustained by an individual who was riding on the exterior of a pickup truck or van when it collided with another non-motorized vehicle. The incident occurred in a non-traffic setting, such as a private property or parking lot. It specifically denotes the initial phase of care for this type of injury.

This code is appropriate for documenting injuries from accidents where a patient was an external occupant of a truck or van (e.g., in the bed) involved in a collision with a bicycle, animal-drawn vehicle, or other non-motorized transport. The accident must have taken place off public roadways, and the encounter represents the first time the patient is being treated for these injuries.

• Ensure the patient was an "outside occupant" and not inside the vehicle.
• Verify the collision was with a "non-motor vehicle" and occurred in a "nontraffic" area.
• Confirm this is the initial encounter for the specific injury sustained in this accident.
