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

This code signifies an injury sustained by an unidentifiable occupant of a pickup truck or van involved in a traffic accident where the vehicle struck a stationary object. The encounter being documented is not the initial treatment for this injury.

This code is appropriate for follow-up visits, such as wound care, physical therapy, or re-evaluation of injuries, for a patient who was an occupant of a pickup truck or van and was injured when the vehicle collided with a fixed object. It is used when the specific role of the occupant (e.g., driver, passenger) is not documented.

• Ensure the documentation clearly indicates a subsequent encounter for the injury.
• Verify that the vehicle involved was a pickup truck or van and the collision was with a fixed or stationary object.
• Only use this code when the specific occupant role (driver, passenger) is not specified in the medical record.
