Fall from other rolling-type pedestrian conveyance, sequela

This code signifies a health condition or injury that is a residual effect or complication stemming from a past fall from a rolling-type pedestrian conveyance other than a skateboard or scooter. It indicates that the original injury has resolved, but the patient is now experiencing a long-term consequence directly attributable to that specific incident.

Use this code when documenting a sequela, such as chronic pain, nerve damage, or a permanent disability, that developed as a direct result of a fall from a device like roller skates, inline skates, or a unicycle. This code is appropriate for encounters where the patient is being treated for the lasting effects, not the initial acute injury.

• 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 prior fall from a rolling-type pedestrian conveyance.
• The "S" in the 7th character indicates sequela; do not use for initial or subsequent encounters for the acute injury.
