This code describes an injury sustained by a passenger in a pick-up truck or van involved in a traffic accident where the vehicle collided with a non-motorized vehicle (e.g., bicycle, animal-drawn vehicle, streetcar, or pedestrian conveyance). It specifically indicates the initial phase of treatment for the injury.

This code is appropriate for documenting the initial encounter for a patient presenting with injuries sustained as a passenger in a pick-up truck or van that crashed into a non-motorized vehicle on a public roadway. This includes scenarios such as a collision with a bicycle, a horse-drawn carriage, or a pedestrian.

• Ensure the patient was a passenger, not the driver, of the pick-up truck or van.
• Verify the collision involved a non-motor vehicle; differentiate from collisions with other motor vehicles.
• Confirm this is the initial encounter for treatment of the injury; subsequent encounters will require a different seventh character.
