Occup of pk-up/van inj in nonclsn trnsp acc nontraf, subs

This code describes an injury sustained by an unspecified occupant of a pick-up truck or van during a non-collision transport accident that occurred off a public roadway. The "subsequent encounter" designation indicates this code is used for follow-up care after the initial treatment of the injury.

This code is appropriate for documenting ongoing treatment, such as wound care, physical therapy, or follow-up appointments, for an injury sustained in an off-road, non-collision incident involving a pick-up truck or van where the specific occupant (e.g., driver, passenger) is not identified. Examples include an injury from a vehicle rollover on private property or a fall from a moving van on a farm.

• Always use a more specific occupant code (e.g., driver, passenger) if known.
• Ensure the "subsequent encounter" character (D) is appropriate for the patient's visit type.
• Verify the accident occurred in a "nontraffic" setting, meaning off a public highway or road.
