Person injured in clsn betw car and pk-up/van, nontraf, init

This code identifies an individual who sustained injuries as a result of a collision between a car and a pickup truck or van. The incident occurred in a non-traffic environment, meaning it did not happen on a public highway or road. This specific code is for the initial phase of treatment for these injuries.

Apply this code when documenting injuries sustained by a patient involved in a motor vehicle accident that took place in a private parking lot, driveway, or other off-road location. Examples include collisions in a shopping center parking lot, a private estate, or an industrial yard. This code is appropriate for the initial emergency department visit or first encounter with a healthcare provider for these injuries.

• Ensure the documentation clearly specifies a non-traffic incident to differentiate from traffic accidents.
• Verify the types of vehicles involved are specifically a car and a pickup truck or van.
• Confirm this is the patient's first encounter for the injuries sustained in this particular incident.
