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

This code identifies an individual who was a passenger in a pick-up truck or van involved in a traffic accident with another motor vehicle. The specific type of motor vehicle that collided with the pick-up truck or van is not known or documented. This code is used for the initial treatment of injuries sustained in such an event.

Apply this code when a patient presents for initial care following a collision where they were a passenger in a pick-up truck or van, and the other vehicle involved is simply documented as "motor vehicle" or "unspecified vehicle." This is appropriate when the medical record lacks more specific details about the other vehicle involved in the traffic accident.

• Ensure the patient's role is specifically documented as a "passenger" in a "pick-up truck or van."
• Only use this code when the colliding motor vehicle is truly unspecified in the documentation.
• Remember the "A" suffix indicates an initial encounter for treatment of the injury.
