Unspecified occupant of pick-up truck or van injured in noncollision transport accident in nontraffic accident
ICD-10 V58.3 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of unspecified occupant of pick-up truck or van injured in noncollision transport accident in nontraffic accident.
The ICD-10 code V58.3 is used to classify injuries sustained by unspecified occupants of pick-up trucks or vans involved in noncollision transport accidents that occur outside of traffic scenarios. This code is particularly relevant in cases where individuals are injured while being transported in a pick-up truck or van, but the incident does not involve a collision with another vehicle or object. Common scenarios include accidents occurring during loading or unloading, sudden stops, or vehicle malfunctions. Accurate coding is essential for tracking injury patterns, understanding public health implications, and ensuring appropriate resource allocation for trauma care. Documentation should clearly indicate the nature of the incident, the type of vehicle involved, and the circumstances leading to the injury to support the use of this code.
Emergency department notes must detail the mechanism of injury, vehicle type, and any relevant patient history.
Patients presenting with injuries from falls while entering or exiting a pick-up truck or van.
