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

This code describes an individual who was injured while riding on the exterior of a pickup truck or van, specifically in an incident that did not involve a collision with another vehicle or object. The accident occurred in a non-traffic environment, such as a private driveway, parking lot, or off-road area. The "D" suffix indicates this is a subsequent encounter for care related to the initial injury.

Use this code for follow-up visits, such as wound care, physical therapy, or medication management, for injuries sustained when a person fell from or was otherwise injured while riding on the outside of a pickup truck or van. This applies when the incident was not a collision and happened off public roadways. Examples include injuries from being thrown off the back of a truck on a farm or falling from the side of a van in a private lot.

• Ensure the documentation clearly states the patient was on the outside of the vehicle, not inside.
• Verify the accident was a noncollision event and occurred in a nontraffic area.
• Confirm this is a subsequent encounter for treatment of the initial injury, not the initial visit.
