Pasngr in pk-up/van inj in clsn w oth mv nontraf, sequela

This code indicates that a passenger in a pickup truck or van sustained injuries from a collision with another motor vehicle, where the accident occurred off a public roadway. The "S" at the end signifies that this code is for the sequela, or late effects, of such an injury. This means the patient is presenting for treatment of a complication or residual condition directly resulting from the original accident.

Use this code when documenting the long-term effects or complications arising from an injury sustained by a passenger in a pickup truck or van involved in an off-road collision with another vehicle. This would apply to follow-up visits for conditions like chronic pain, scar contractures, nerve damage, or psychological sequelae directly attributable to the original incident.

• Always assign this code as a secondary diagnosis, following the code for the specific sequela being treated.
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to the original non-traffic accident as a passenger in a pickup truck or van.
• Verify the accident occurred in a non-traffic setting (e.g., private property, parking lot) to differentiate from traffic accidents.
