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

This code describes an injury sustained by an unspecified occupant of a pick-up truck or van involved in a non-collision transport accident that occurred in a traffic setting. The "D" suffix indicates that this is a subsequent encounter for care of the injury, meaning the patient is receiving follow-up treatment after the initial acute phase.

Use this code when a patient presents for follow-up care (e.g., cast change, physical therapy, wound check) for an injury sustained as an occupant of a pick-up truck or van in a traffic accident that did not involve a collision with another vehicle or object. This applies to incidents like rollovers, falling out of the vehicle, or being thrown from the vehicle without impact.

• Always use in conjunction with the specific injury code(s) for the patient's condition.
• Ensure the documentation clearly states the patient was an occupant of a pick-up truck or van and that the accident was a non-collision transport event in traffic.
• The "D" seventh character signifies subsequent care; use "A" for initial encounters and "S" for sequelae.
