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

This code describes a pedestrian who sustained injuries as a long-term consequence of a past collision involving a two- or three-wheeled motor vehicle (e.g., motorcycle, scooter). The original accident's traffic or nontraffic nature is not specified. This code is used when the initial injury has healed, but the patient continues to experience residual effects or complications directly attributable to that past event.

Use this code when documenting follow-up care for chronic pain, functional limitations, scarring, or other persistent conditions resulting from a pedestrian-motorcycle collision. This applies when the patient is no longer in the acute phase of injury treatment but is being managed for sequelae. It is appropriate when the initial encounter for the injury has already been coded.

• Always use this code as a secondary diagnosis, following the code for the specific sequela (e.g., chronic pain, scar, malunion).
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to the past pedestrian-motorcycle accident.
• Verify that the original accident involved a two- or three-wheeled motor vehicle and the patient was a pedestrian.
