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

This code describes an individual who was riding on the exterior of a pickup truck or van and sustained injuries during a traffic collision with a non-motorized vehicle. This specifically refers to the initial treatment for the injuries sustained in such an incident.

Apply this code when documenting the initial encounter for a patient injured while riding outside a pickup truck or van, and the collision involved a bicycle, animal-drawn vehicle, or other non-motorized transport. This would be used in emergency department visits or initial hospital admissions following such an accident.

• Ensure the patient was physically on the outside of the vehicle, not inside.
• Verify the collision involved a non-motorized vehicle, not another car or fixed object.
• This code is only for the initial encounter; subsequent care will require a different seventh character.
