This code signifies that a patient, who was a passenger in a pick-up truck or van, sustained injuries from a collision with another motor vehicle. The incident occurred in a non-traffic setting, meaning it did not happen on a public roadway. This specific code is used for follow-up care related to these injuries.

Apply this code for subsequent encounters when a patient presents for ongoing treatment, rehabilitation, or follow-up after being injured as a passenger in a pick-up truck or van involved in a non-traffic collision with another motor vehicle. Examples include physical therapy sessions, wound care, or follow-up appointments with an orthopedic specialist for a fracture sustained in such an event.

• Ensure the encounter is for subsequent care, not the initial treatment of the injury.
• Verify the patient was a passenger in a pick-up truck or van, and the collision involved another motor vehicle in a non-traffic setting.
• Always code the specific injury(ies) first, followed by this external cause code.
