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

This code signifies a past injury sustained by a pedestrian who was struck by a motorcycle or similar two- or three-wheeled motor vehicle in a traffic accident. The injury is no longer acute but continues to have lasting effects or complications. It specifically identifies the pedestrian as the injured party and the type of vehicle involved in the collision.

Apply this code when documenting the long-term consequences or sequelae of a pedestrian-motorcycle collision. This includes conditions like chronic pain, limited mobility, neurological deficits, or psychological impacts directly attributable to the original accident, after the initial healing phase has passed. It is used when the patient presents for treatment of these ongoing issues.

• Always use this code as a secondary diagnosis, following the code for the specific sequela being treated.
• Ensure the medical record clearly documents the patient's history as a pedestrian involved in a collision with a two- or three-wheeled motor vehicle.
• Verify that the "S" seventh character is appropriate for sequela, indicating a late effect of the injury.
