Driver of hv veh inj pk-up truck, pk-up/van nontraf, sequela

This code signifies a long-term consequence or complication arising from an injury sustained by the driver of a large commercial vehicle (e.g., semi-truck, bus) during a collision with a smaller passenger vehicle (car, pickup, van). The original incident occurred in a non-traffic environment, such as a parking lot, private road, or industrial site.

Apply this code when documenting conditions that are residual effects of such an accident, appearing after the acute phase of the injury has passed. Examples include chronic pain, limited range of motion, or nerve damage directly attributable to the original collision. This code is appropriate for follow-up encounters addressing these persistent issues.

• Ensure the documentation clearly links the current condition to the specified past accident.
• Verify the original accident involved a heavy transport vehicle driver and a smaller passenger vehicle in a non-traffic setting.
• This "S" seventh character indicates sequela, meaning it should be used for late effects of the injury.
