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

This code describes an injury sustained by an individual who was in the process of getting on or off a bus when it was involved in a collision with a car, pickup truck, or van. This specific code is used for a subsequent encounter, meaning the patient is receiving follow-up care for an injury initially treated at a prior visit.

This code is appropriate for documenting ongoing treatment, such as wound care, physical therapy, or follow-up examinations, for injuries sustained in the described accident. It should be used when the patient presents for care after the initial acute treatment has been rendered.

• Ensure the documentation clearly specifies the patient was boarding or alighting the bus at the time of the collision.
• Verify that the other vehicle involved was 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.
