Occupant (driver) of pk-up/van injured in unsp traf, subs

This code signifies that an individual, either the driver or a passenger, sustained injuries in a pick-up truck or van during a traffic accident where the specific circumstances of the collision are unknown. This particular code is used for follow-up care after the initial treatment of these injuries.

Apply this code for subsequent encounters, such as follow-up appointments, physical therapy, or medication refills, for injuries sustained by an occupant of a pick-up truck or van in an unspecific traffic accident. This is appropriate when the initial injury has already been treated and the patient is receiving ongoing care related to that event.

• Ensure the encounter is for follow-up care, not the initial treatment of the injury.
• Verify the patient was an occupant (driver or passenger) of a pick-up truck or van.
• Only use when the specific type of traffic accident is not documented or is unknown.
