Other accident with motorized mobility scooter, sequela

This code signifies a health condition or complication that is a direct result of a previous accident involving a motorized mobility scooter. It indicates that the initial injury from the scooter accident has healed, but its lasting effects are still present and require ongoing medical attention. This could include chronic pain, limited mobility, or other long-term sequelae.

This code is appropriate when documenting a patient's current condition that is a residual effect of an accident with a motorized mobility scooter that occurred in the past. It should be used for follow-up visits or ongoing treatment related to the long-term consequences of such an incident, after the acute phase of the injury has passed.

• Always sequence this code after the code(s) identifying the specific sequela(e) (e.g., chronic pain, scar, deformity).
• Ensure the medical record clearly links the current condition to the past motorized mobility scooter accident.
• Do not use this code for acute injuries from a recent scooter accident; instead, use the appropriate acute injury codes.
