Ped w convey injured in clsn w 2/3-whl mv nontraf, sequela

This code describes a pedestrian who sustained injuries as a long-term consequence of being struck by a two- or three-wheeled motor vehicle (e.g., motorcycle, moped) while the pedestrian was also using another conveyance (e.g., skateboard, rollerblades). The incident occurred in an area not open to public traffic, such as a private driveway or parking lot. The "sequela" indicates that this code is for conditions arising as a late effect of the initial injury.

Use this code for follow-up encounters or when documenting chronic conditions, disabilities, or complications directly resulting from an initial injury where a pedestrian on another conveyance was hit by a two- or three-wheeled motor vehicle in a non-traffic setting. This applies after the acute phase of the injury has passed. Examples include chronic pain, scar contractures, or neurological deficits stemming from such an event.

• Always assign an additional code(s) for the specific nature of the sequela (e.g., scar, fracture malunion, chronic pain).
• Ensure the documentation clearly states the injury is a "sequela" or "late effect" of the original incident.
• Verify the accident occurred in a "nontraffic" area and involved a two- or three-wheeled motor vehicle impacting a pedestrian on another conveyance.
