Occup of hv veh inj pick-up truck, pk-up/van in traf, init

This code signifies an injury sustained by an unidentifiable occupant of a large commercial vehicle, such as a bus or truck, involved in a traffic collision with a smaller passenger vehicle. The specific nature of the injury is not detailed, and the occupant's role (driver, passenger) is unknown.

This code is appropriate when documentation confirms an injury to an occupant of a heavy transport vehicle following a collision with a car, pickup, or van, but lacks specifics regarding the occupant's position or the exact type of heavy vehicle. It is used for the initial treatment of such an injury in an emergency department or acute care setting.

• Ensure the documentation explicitly states the collision involved a heavy transport vehicle and a car, pickup, or van.
• Only use this code when the specific occupant (e.g., driver, passenger) of the heavy transport vehicle cannot be determined.
• This code is for the initial encounter; subsequent care for the same injury will require a different encounter character.
