Ped on foot injured in collision w 2/3-whl mv, unsp, sequela

This code describes the long-term effects or complications arising from a pedestrian being struck by a two- or three-wheeled motor vehicle (e.g., motorcycle, scooter). It indicates that the initial injury event occurred in the past and the patient is now presenting with a residual condition directly related to that accident. The specific circumstances of the accident (traffic vs. nontraffic) are not known or documented.

Use this code when a patient presents for treatment of a sequela (e.g., chronic pain, scar contracture, neurological deficit, nonunion of a fracture) that is a direct result of being hit by a motorcycle or similar vehicle as a pedestrian. This code is appropriate when the initial injury has healed, but its lasting effects require ongoing medical attention. It should be assigned after the code for the specific sequela.

• Always assign a code for the specific sequela (e.g., M25.50 for unspecified joint pain, G89.29 for other chronic pain) before this external cause code.
• This code is for use on subsequent encounters for the sequela, not for the initial acute injury.
• The "X" placeholder indicates that the specific type of two- or three-wheeled motor vehicle is not specified.
