Ped on rolr-skt injured in clsn w pedl cyc in traf, sequela

This code describes a long-term health condition or complication resulting from a traffic accident where a pedestrian on roller-skates was struck by a pedal cycle. It indicates that the patient is presenting for care related to a residual effect of this specific past injury, rather than the initial acute event.

Apply this code when documenting a patient encounter for a sequela (e.g., chronic pain, scar revision, limited range of motion, psychological distress) directly attributable to a collision between a roller-skating pedestrian and a pedal cycle that occurred in traffic. This code is appropriate for follow-up visits occurring after the initial injury has healed, but its lasting effects require ongoing medical attention.

• 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 specified past traffic accident involving a roller-skating pedestrian and a pedal cycle.
• The "S" in the 7th character indicates sequela; do not use for initial or subsequent encounters for the acute injury.
