Ped on foot injured in collision w oth ped convey, sequela

This code signifies a past injury sustained by a pedestrian who was struck by another pedestrian conveyance (e.g., a skateboard, scooter, or bicycle) in a collision. It indicates that the patient is now presenting with a condition or complication directly resulting from that original incident. This is not for the initial encounter of the injury.

Use this code when documenting a patient's visit for a long-term effect, complication, or sequela stemming from an injury where they, as a pedestrian, were involved in a collision with another pedestrian conveyance. Examples include chronic pain, nerve damage, or limited range of motion that developed after the initial injury has healed. This code should be used in conjunction with a code describing the nature of the sequela.

• Always assign a code for the specific nature of the sequela (e.g., pain, scar, deformity) in addition to this external cause code.
• Ensure the medical record clearly documents the patient's history of being a pedestrian injured by another pedestrian conveyance.
• Verify that the encounter is for a sequela and not an initial or subsequent encounter for the acute injury itself.
