Pasngr in pk-up/van injured in clsn w oth mv nontraf, subs

This code describes an injury sustained by a passenger in a pickup truck or van involved in a collision with another motor vehicle. The accident occurred in a non-traffic area, such as a parking lot or private property, and the patient is presenting for follow-up care after the initial treatment of their injury.

Use this code for subsequent encounters when a patient, who was a passenger in a pickup truck or van, is receiving ongoing treatment for injuries sustained in a collision with another motor vehicle outside of a public roadway. This includes scenarios like physical therapy, wound care, or follow-up appointments for fractures or soft tissue injuries resulting from such an incident.

• Ensure the accident definitively occurred in a non-traffic area, not on a public highway or street.
• Verify the patient's role as a passenger, not the driver, and the vehicle type as a pickup truck or van.
• Confirm this is a subsequent encounter, not the initial treatment for the injury.
