Ped on sktbrd injured in clsn w pedl cyc nontraf, sequela

This code signifies a long-term or late effect resulting from an injury sustained by a pedestrian who was on a skateboard and collided with a pedal cycle. The original incident occurred in a non-traffic setting, meaning it did not happen on a public roadway. This code is used to report conditions that are residual or chronic consequences of that specific accident.

Apply this code when documenting a patient presenting with a sequela (e.g., chronic pain, scar contracture, neurological deficit) directly attributable to a past injury from a skateboard-pedal cycle collision. The original accident must have taken place in a non-traffic environment, such as a park, sidewalk, or private property. This code is appropriate for follow-up encounters addressing the lasting effects of the initial trauma.

• Always sequence this sequela code after the code(s) for the specific condition(s) being treated.
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to the past skateboard-pedal cycle collision.
• Verify the original incident occurred in a non-traffic setting; otherwise, a different external cause code would be appropriate.
