Prsn brd/alit pk-up/van inj in nonclsn trnsp acc, sequela

This code signifies a long-term consequence or complication arising from an injury sustained by an individual while getting on or off a pickup truck or van, specifically when the vehicle was not involved in a collision. It indicates that the initial injury event has resolved, but the patient is still experiencing residual effects.

This code is appropriate for documenting conditions like chronic pain, limited range of motion, nerve damage, or scar tissue formation that are directly attributable to an injury sustained during boarding or alighting a pickup truck or van in a non-collision incident. It should be used when the patient is presenting for treatment of these persistent sequelae, not the initial acute injury.

• Always assign an additional code for the specific nature of the sequela (e.g., chronic pain, fracture nonunion).
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to the past non-collision transport accident involving boarding/alighting a pickup truck/van.
• This "S" seventh character indicates sequela and should only be used for complications or conditions arising as a direct result of the initial injury, after the acute phase has passed.
