Person outsd bus inj pick-up truck, pk-up/van in traf, init

This code signifies an injury sustained by an individual who was located on the exterior of a bus when it collided with a car, pickup truck, or van. The injury occurred within a traffic accident context.

Apply this code when documenting injuries to a person who was, for example, hanging onto the side of a bus, riding on the roof, or otherwise positioned outside the passenger compartment during a collision with another light vehicle. This code is specifically for the initial treatment of such an injury.

• Ensure the patient's position was explicitly outside the bus, not as a passenger inside.
• Verify the other vehicle involved was a car, pickup truck, or van.
• Confirm this is the initial encounter for the injury; subsequent encounters will require different seventh characters.
