Wheelchair (powered) colliding w stationary object, sequela

This code indicates a long-term health condition or complication arising from a previous incident where a powered wheelchair struck an unmoving object. It signifies that the patient is experiencing a lasting effect directly attributable to that specific collision, rather than the immediate injury.

Apply this code when documenting a chronic condition, disability, or other persistent health issue that is a direct consequence of a past powered wheelchair collision with a stationary object. This is appropriate for follow-up encounters addressing these residual effects, such as ongoing pain, nerve damage, or functional limitations.

• Always use in conjunction with a code for the specific sequela (e.g., chronic pain, nonunion fracture).
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to the past powered wheelchair incident.
• This code is for the "S" (sequela) encounter, not the initial injury or subsequent acute care.
