Ped on foot injured in collision w roller-skater, sequela

This code signifies a long-term health condition or complication resulting from an injury sustained by a pedestrian who was struck by a roller-skater. It indicates that the initial acute injury has resolved, but its lasting effects are now being treated or evaluated.

Apply this code when a patient presents for follow-up care, rehabilitation, or treatment of chronic issues directly attributable to a past collision where they, as a pedestrian, were hit by a roller-skater. This includes conditions like chronic pain, limited range of motion, nerve damage, or scar tissue complications arising from the original incident.

• Always use this code as a secondary diagnosis, following the code for the specific sequela being treated.
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to the past roller-skater collision.
• Do not use for initial encounters or acute injury treatment; those require acute injury codes.
