Person outsd hv veh inj pk-up truck, pk-up/van nontraf, sqla

This code signifies a long-term consequence or complication arising from an injury sustained by an individual who was positioned on the exterior of a large transport vehicle (e.g., bus, train, large truck) during a non-traffic collision with a smaller passenger vehicle (car, pickup truck, or van). The initial injury occurred in an area not typically designated for public road traffic, such as a private lot or industrial site.

Apply this code when documenting a sequela (e.g., chronic pain, scar contracture, neurological deficit) directly attributable to an injury sustained in the described accident. This would be used for follow-up encounters occurring long after the initial injury has healed, but where residual effects are still being managed. The original incident involved the person being outside the heavy transport vehicle, not inside, and the collision was with a light vehicle in a non-traffic setting.

• Always assign this code as a secondary diagnosis, following the code for the specific sequela being treated.
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to the original injury from the specified type of accident.
• Verify the accident occurred in a "nontraffic" setting and involved a "heavy transport vehicle" colliding with a "car, pick-up truck or van."
