Occup of pk-up/van injured in clsn w oth mv in traf, init

This code signifies an injury sustained by an occupant of a pickup truck or van involved in a traffic accident with another motor vehicle. The specific role of the individual (e.g., driver, passenger) within the pickup truck or van is not documented. This code is used for the initial treatment of the injury.

Apply this code when documentation indicates a patient was an occupant of a pickup truck or van involved in a multi-vehicle collision on a public roadway, and their specific occupant status is not specified. This is appropriate for the first encounter for the injury resulting from this type of accident.

• Ensure the documentation explicitly states the vehicle involved was a pickup truck or van.
• Verify that the collision involved at least one other motor vehicle in traffic.
• Confirm this is the initial encounter for the injury; subsequent encounters will require a different seventh character.
