Occ of pk-up/van injured in trnsp acc w miltry vehicle, subs

This code signifies an individual, either a driver or passenger, who was in a pickup truck or van and sustained injuries in a collision involving a military vehicle. The "XD" suffix indicates that this is a subsequent encounter for the injury, meaning the patient is receiving follow-up care after the initial treatment.

This code is appropriate for documenting ongoing care, such as follow-up appointments, rehabilitation, or management of complications, for injuries sustained in the described accident. It should be used after the initial encounter code for the specific injury and accident type has been reported.

• Always pair this external cause code with an injury code (e.g., fracture, sprain) to fully describe the patient's condition.
• Ensure the encounter character "D" (subsequent encounter) is appropriate for the patient's visit type.
• Verify that the vehicle types involved (pickup truck/van and military vehicle) are accurately documented in the medical record.
