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

This code signifies an injury sustained by an individual who was an occupant on the exterior of a bus, involved in a traffic collision with another motor vehicle (car, pick-up truck, or van). The "D" suffix indicates that this is a subsequent encounter for the injury, meaning the patient is receiving follow-up care after the initial treatment.

Use this code for follow-up visits, such as wound care, physical therapy, or re-evaluation of injuries, for a patient who was injured while riding on the outside of a bus in a traffic accident. This applies when the bus collided with a car, pick-up truck, or van. Do not use for the initial encounter or for sequelae.

• Ensure the patient was specifically on the outside of the bus, not an internal occupant.
• Verify the collision involved a car, pick-up truck, or van; other vehicle types would require a different code.
• Confirm this is a subsequent encounter for the injury, not the initial treatment or a late effect.
