Medical necessity is established by the presence of injuries requiring medical care and treatment.The severity of the injuries and the need for interventions (surgery, hospitalization, rehabilitation) determine the level of medical necessity.

The clinical responsibility depends on the nature and severity of the injuries sustained.It may involve emergency medical services, hospital physicians (various specialties), surgeons, rehabilitation specialists, and other healthcare professionals as needed.

IMPORTANT:Consider additional codes to specify the injury sustained (from Chapters 1-18), the type of street or road (Y92.4-), and the use of electronic devices at the time of the accident (Y93.C-).

In simple words: This code is for someone hurt in a pick-up truck or van accident when it hit something that wasn't a motor vehicle, like a horse-drawn carriage or an animal.

This ICD-10-CM code classifies injuries sustained by an occupant of a pick-up truck or van involved in a collision with another non-motor vehicle.This includes collisions with animal-drawn vehicles, animals being ridden, and streetcars. The code is used to indicate the type of vehicle the injured person was in and the type of collision.

Example 1: A patient in a pick-up truck collides with a horse-drawn carriage. The patient sustains a fractured femur and requires surgical intervention., A passenger in a minivan is injured when the vehicle strikes a deer crossing the road. The passenger suffers a concussion and requires observation in the emergency department., A driver of an SUV is involved in a collision with a streetcar. The driver sustains multiple injuries, including rib fractures and internal bleeding, necessitating hospitalization and ongoing rehabilitation.

Comprehensive documentation should include details of the accident, the nature and extent of the injuries sustained, treatment rendered, and any ongoing care or rehabilitation needed.Police reports, witness statements, imaging reports (X-rays, CT scans), and operative reports are all essential.
