Drvr of pk-up/van inj in clsn w statnry object in traf, sqla

This code signifies a sequela resulting from a traffic accident where the driver of a pick-up truck or van collided with a fixed or stationary object. It indicates a long-term or late-effect condition directly attributable to the original incident, such as chronic pain, scar tissue, or neurological deficits.

Apply this code when documenting a patient's current condition that is a direct consequence of a past motor vehicle accident involving them as the driver of a pick-up truck or van hitting a stationary object. This would be used for follow-up visits addressing these lasting effects, not the initial acute injury.

• Always use in conjunction with a code describing the specific sequela (e.g., chronic pain, scar, neurological deficit).
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to the past traffic accident and specifies the patient's role as the driver of a pick-up truck or van.
• Verify that the accident involved a collision with a fixed or stationary object to ensure accurate external cause coding.
