Occupant (driver) of pk-up/van injured in unsp nontraf, subs

This code describes an injury sustained by a person who was inside a pickup truck or van during an accident that did not occur on a public road or highway. The specific type of accident is not documented, and this code is used for follow-up care after the initial treatment.

This code is appropriate for subsequent encounters for patients who were injured as an occupant of a pickup truck or van in a non-traffic incident, such as an accident on private property, a farm, or an industrial site, where the initial injury has already been coded. Examples include follow-up for fractures, sprains, or contusions resulting from the vehicle rolling over in a field or colliding with a stationary object in a parking lot.

• Always ensure the encounter is for subsequent care, not the initial treatment of the injury.
• Verify the accident was explicitly non-traffic and involved a pickup truck or van occupant.
• Pair this external cause code with the specific injury code(s) to fully describe the patient's condition.
