Ped on rolr-skt inj in clsn w 2/3-whl mv in traf, sequela

This code describes the long-term effects or complications arising from a traffic accident where a person on roller skates was hit by a motorcycle, moped, or similar two- or three-wheeled motor vehicle. It indicates that the initial injury has healed, but the patient is now presenting for treatment of a residual condition directly related to that past incident.

Use this code when a patient is being treated for a sequela (e.g., chronic pain, scar contracture, nonunion of a fracture) resulting from a previous collision between them, as a roller-skater, and a two- or three-wheeled motor vehicle in a traffic setting. This code is appropriate for follow-up care long after the initial injury has occurred and acute treatment has concluded.

• 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 past roller-skating accident involving a motor vehicle.
• The "S" seventh character indicates sequela, meaning the patient is being seen for complications or residual effects of the initial injury.
