Driver of pk-up/van inj in nonclsn trnsp acc in traf, subs

This code indicates that a driver of a pickup truck or van sustained injuries in a traffic accident that did not involve a collision with another vehicle or object. This specific encounter is for follow-up care after the initial treatment of those injuries.

Apply this code for subsequent visits related to injuries sustained by a pickup truck or van driver in a non-collision traffic incident, such as a rollover, falling from the vehicle, or being ejected. This includes situations where the vehicle veered off the road without striking anything or experienced a mechanical failure leading to an accident without impact.

• Always use in conjunction with an injury code (e.g., fracture, sprain) to specify the nature of the injury.
• Ensure the "D" seventh character is appropriate for a subsequent encounter, indicating ongoing care or recovery.
• Verify the patient was the driver of a pickup truck or van and the accident was non-collision and occurred in traffic.
