Ped on rolr-skt injured in clsn w 2/3-whl mv, unsp, sequela

This code describes a long-term consequence or complication arising from a past injury where a person on roller-skates was struck by a two- or three-wheeled motor vehicle. The original incident's nature, whether it occurred on a public road or private property, is not specified. This code is used when the patient is presenting for treatment of a residual condition directly attributable to this specific type of past accident.

Use this code when documenting a patient's visit for a chronic condition, disability, or complication that is a direct result of being injured as a roller-skating pedestrian in a collision with a motorcycle, moped, or similar vehicle. This applies when the initial injury has healed, but its lasting effects require ongoing medical attention. Examples include chronic pain, limited range of motion, or nerve damage stemming from the original impact.

• 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 two- or three-wheeled motor vehicle.
• Verify that the "S" seventh character is appropriate, indicating a sequela, rather than an initial encounter or subsequent encounter for the original injury.
