Prsn brd/alit hv veh injured pick-up truck, pk-up/van, subs

This code signifies an injury sustained by an individual who was in the process of getting on or off a large transport vehicle (e.g., bus, train) when it was involved in a collision with a smaller vehicle like a car, pickup truck, or van. This specific code is used for follow-up care after the initial injury has been addressed.

This code is appropriate for subsequent encounters related to injuries sustained in the described scenario, such as follow-up appointments, physical therapy, or ongoing wound care. It should be used when the patient is receiving treatment for complications or recovery from the initial incident.

• Ensure the documentation clearly states the patient was boarding or alighting a heavy transport vehicle.
• Verify the collision involved a car, pickup truck, or van, and not another type of vehicle.
• Confirm this is a subsequent encounter for the injury, not the initial treatment.
