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

This code signifies an injury sustained by an individual involved in a collision between a car and a pickup truck or van, occurring in a non-traffic environment. It specifically indicates that this is a follow-up encounter for the initial injury, meaning the patient is receiving continued care, such as follow-up appointments, cast changes, or rehabilitation.

Use this code for subsequent encounters when a patient presents for ongoing management of injuries resulting from a car-pickup/van collision that happened off a public roadway. Examples include incidents occurring in parking lots, private driveways, or agricultural fields. This code is appropriate for any visit after the initial treatment for the accident.

• Ensure the documentation clearly states the collision involved a car and a pickup truck/van, not other vehicle types.
• Verify the incident occurred in a non-traffic setting (e.g., private property) and that this is not the initial visit for the injury.
• Always code with an external cause code (V00-Y99) and the specific injury code(s) to provide a complete clinical picture.
