Prsn brd/alit pk-up/van injured in nonclsn trnsp acc, init

This code signifies an injury sustained by an individual while getting on or off a pick-up truck or van, where the injury was not due to a collision with another vehicle or object. It specifically covers incidents like falls from the vehicle during entry or exit, or being struck by a closing door, without the vehicle itself being in motion or involved in a crash.

Apply this code when a patient presents with an injury that occurred as they were either stepping into or out of a pick-up truck or van. This includes scenarios such as a patient slipping off the running board, falling from the cargo bed while dismounting, or being injured by a door closing on a limb, provided the vehicle was stationary and not involved in a collision.

• Ensure the documentation clearly states the patient was boarding or alighting and the vehicle type was a pick-up truck or van.
• Verify that the accident was a "noncollision transport accident" and not a collision or other type of incident.
• This code is for the initial encounter for treatment of the injury. Subsequent encounters will require a different seventh character.
