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

This code describes an injury sustained by an individual who was positioned on the exterior of a pickup truck or van during a non-collision transportation incident that occurred in traffic. The "D" seventh character indicates that this is a subsequent encounter for care of the injury, meaning the patient is receiving follow-up treatment after the initial active treatment phase.

Use this code for patients presenting for routine follow-up care, cast changes, medication adjustments, or wound care related to injuries sustained while riding on the outside of a pickup truck or van in a traffic-related non-collision event. This applies after the initial emergency or acute phase of treatment has concluded.

• Ensure the patient was an occupant on the outside of the vehicle, not inside.
• Verify the accident was a non-collision event (e.g., falling off the vehicle) and occurred in traffic.
• Confirm the encounter is for subsequent care, not initial treatment or sequelae.
