Ped on rolr-skt inj pk-up truck, pk-up/van nontraf, sequela

This code signifies a long-term health condition or complication arising from a past injury where a person on roller skates was struck by a car, pickup truck, or van in an area not designated for traffic. The sequela could be a chronic pain syndrome, permanent mobility impairment, or psychological trauma directly attributable to the original incident.

Apply this code when documenting a current condition that is a direct consequence of a pedestrian (on roller skates) being involved in a collision with a motor vehicle (car, pickup, or van) in a non-traffic setting, such as a parking lot or private driveway. This code is appropriate for follow-up encounters addressing the residual effects of the initial injury.

• Always use this code as a secondary diagnosis, following the code for the specific sequela being treated.
• Ensure the medical record clearly links the current condition to the original roller-skating accident.
• Verify the accident occurred in a "nontraffic" area; otherwise, a different external cause code would be more appropriate.
