Prsn brd/alit pk-up/van inj in clsn w statnry object, subs

This code describes an injury sustained by an individual who was in the process of getting into or out of a pick-up truck or van when the vehicle collided with a non-moving object. This specific code is for a subsequent encounter, meaning it's used for care provided after the initial treatment of the injury.

Apply this code when documenting follow-up care, such as wound checks, physical therapy, or medication management, for injuries sustained in the described accident. The patient must have been an occupant (boarding or alighting) of a pick-up truck or van involved in a crash with a fixed object like a pole, building, or tree.

• Ensure the encounter is for follow-up care, not the initial treatment.
• Verify the patient's role as boarding or alighting the vehicle, not simply a passenger or driver.
• Confirm the collision involved a fixed or stationary object, distinguishing it from collisions with other moving vehicles.
