V59.3XXA
ICD-10-CMOccupant (driver) (passenger) of pick-up truck or van injured in unspecified nontraffic accident, initial encounter
This code describes an injury sustained by a driver or passenger of a pick-up truck or van during an accident that did not occur on a public roadway. This includes incidents such as rollovers on private property, collisions with stationary objects in a parking lot, or injuries sustained while performing maintenance or loading/unloading the vehicle off-road. The "initial encounter" signifies the patient is receiving active treatment for the injury.
Apply this code when documenting injuries from incidents like a utility worker falling from the bed of a pick-up truck while parked at a job site, a farmer injured when their van rolled over in a field, or a delivery driver sustaining an injury while backing up in a private loading dock area. The key is that the accident occurred off a public thoroughfare and the patient is presenting for initial care.
