Pasngr in pk-up/van inj in clsn w statnry obj in traf, subs

This code signifies a patient who was a passenger in a pickup truck or van and sustained injuries from an impact with a non-moving object (e.g., a tree, pole, building) during a traffic accident. The "subsequent encounter" designation indicates that this code is used for follow-up care for these injuries after the initial treatment.

Apply this code for any ongoing treatment, rehabilitation, or follow-up visits related to injuries sustained as a passenger in a pickup truck or van involved in a collision with a fixed object. This includes scenarios like physical therapy, wound care, or re-evaluation of fractures.

• Ensure the patient was explicitly a passenger in a pickup truck or van, not the driver or a pedestrian.
• Verify the accident involved a fixed or stationary object and was a traffic accident.
• The "D" seventh character is crucial for subsequent encounters; do not use for initial care.
