Driver of pk-up/van injured in clsn w unsp mv in traf, init

This code identifies an individual who was operating a pick-up truck or van and sustained injuries during a traffic accident involving another motor vehicle, where the specific type of the other vehicle is not documented. This indicates the patient was the driver, not a passenger, and the collision occurred on a public roadway.

Apply this code when documentation clearly states the patient was the driver of a pick-up truck or van involved in a multi-vehicle collision, and the other vehicle's type (e.g., car, bus, motorcycle) is not specified. This is appropriate for the initial treatment of injuries sustained from such an event.

• Ensure the documentation explicitly states the patient was the "driver" of a "pick-up truck" or "van."
• Only use this code when the type of the other motor vehicle involved in the collision is unknown or unrecorded.
• Remember the "XA" seventh character signifies an initial encounter for treatment of the injury.
