Prsn outsd pk-up/van inj in clsn w statnry obj nontraf, subs

This code describes an injury sustained by an individual who was positioned on the exterior of a pickup truck or van when the vehicle collided with a stationary object, occurring in a non-traffic setting. The "subsequent encounter" indicates that this code is used for follow-up care related to the initial injury, such as wound checks, physical therapy, or medication adjustments.

Use this code for follow-up visits for injuries sustained when a person was riding on the outside of a pickup truck or van (e.g., in the bed, on the running board) and the vehicle struck a pole, tree, or building in a private driveway, parking lot, or off-road area. This applies to any care after the initial emergency treatment.

• Ensure the accident occurred in a "nontraffic" environment; incidents on public roads require different external cause codes.
• Verify the patient was on the outside of the vehicle, not an occupant within the cab.
• Confirm this is a "subsequent encounter" for ongoing treatment or recovery, not the initial presentation.
