Driver of bus injured pick-up truck, pk-up/van in traf, init

This code signifies that a bus driver sustained injuries as a direct result of a motor vehicle accident involving a car, pickup truck, or van. The incident occurred on a public roadway or other traffic-related area. This code specifically captures the initial treatment for these injuries.

Apply this code when documenting the initial encounter for a bus driver presenting with injuries sustained from a collision with a passenger vehicle (car, pickup, or van). This is appropriate for emergency department visits, initial hospital admissions, or the first outpatient visit for these specific injuries.

• Ensure the documentation clearly identifies the patient as the driver of the bus.
• Verify the other vehicle involved was a car, pickup truck, or van, and not another type of vehicle (e.g., motorcycle, truck, train).
• Confirm this is the initial encounter for the injury; subsequent encounters will require a different seventh character.
