Pasngr in pk-up/van inj in clsn w nonmtr veh in traf, subs

This code signifies that a patient, who was a passenger in a pickup truck or van, sustained injuries in a traffic accident involving another non-motorized vehicle (e.g., bicycle, animal-drawn vehicle, pedestrian conveyance). The "D" suffix indicates that this is a subsequent encounter for care after the initial treatment of the injury.

This code is appropriate for follow-up visits, such as wound checks, physical therapy, or medication adjustments, for injuries sustained in the described type of motor vehicle accident. It would be used when the patient is presenting for ongoing management of the previously diagnosed injuries, not for the initial diagnosis and treatment.

• Ensure the patient was a passenger, not the driver, and the vehicle was a pickup truck or van.
• Verify the collision involved a non-motor vehicle and occurred in a traffic setting.
• The "D" suffix is crucial for subsequent encounters; do not use for initial treatment.
