Occ of pk-up/van inj in trnsp acc w miltry vehicle, sequela

This code describes a long-term health condition or complication resulting from an injury sustained by an occupant (driver or passenger) of a pick-up truck or van involved in a collision with a military vehicle. The initial injury occurred in a transportation accident, and the patient is now presenting for care related to its lasting effects.

Apply this code when documenting a patient encounter for a sequela (e.g., chronic pain, limited range of motion, neurological deficits) directly attributable to an injury from a past transport accident involving a pick-up truck/van and a military vehicle. This code is appropriate for follow-up care, rehabilitation, or evaluation of chronic conditions stemming from such an event.

• Always use this code as a secondary diagnosis, following the code for the specific sequela being treated.
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to the past accident and specifies the vehicle types involved.
• Verify the "S" seventh character for sequela, indicating a late effect of an injury.
