Prsn outsd pk-up/van inj in nonclsn trnsp acc nontraf, init

This code describes an injury sustained by an individual who was positioned on the exterior of a pickup truck or van, not within the passenger compartment, at the time of a non-collision transport accident. The accident occurred in a non-traffic environment, such as a private property or off-road setting. It specifically denotes the initial encounter for this type of injury.

Use this code when documenting an injury to a patient who was riding on the outside of a pickup or van (e.g., in the bed, on a running board) and was injured in an incident that did not involve a collision with another vehicle or object. This applies to accidents occurring in areas like farms, construction sites, or private driveways.

• Ensure the documentation clearly states the patient's position was outside the vehicle.
• Verify the accident was a non-collision event and occurred in a non-traffic area.
• Confirm this is the initial encounter for treatment of the injury.
