Prsn brd/alit from bus inj pick-up truck, pk-up/van, init

This code describes an injury sustained by an individual who was in the process of getting on or off a bus when that bus was involved in a collision with a car, pickup truck, or van. The "initial encounter" signifies that this is the first time the patient is receiving active treatment for this specific injury.

Use this code when documenting injuries from a motor vehicle accident where a bus passenger was boarding or alighting and was struck by a car, pickup truck, or van. This applies to the initial visit for evaluation and treatment of the acute injury.

• Ensure documentation clearly states the patient's role as boarding or alighting from the bus.
• Verify the other vehicle involved was specifically a car, pickup truck, or van.
• Confirm this is the first encounter for treatment of the injury; subsequent care would require a different seventh character.
