Ped on sktbrd inj pick-up truck, pk-up/van nontraf, sequela

This code describes a long-term health condition or complication resulting from a pedestrian, who was on a skateboard, being struck by a car, pickup truck, or van in an area not open to public traffic. This indicates that the initial injury has healed, but the patient is still experiencing residual effects.

Apply this code when documenting a patient's current condition that is a direct consequence of a past skateboard-vehicle collision occurring off public roadways. This is appropriate for follow-up encounters where the sequelae of the original injury are being treated or evaluated, such as chronic pain, nerve damage, or limited mobility.

• Always assign an additional code(s) to specify the nature of the sequela (e.g., scar, chronic pain, nonunion of fracture).
• Ensure the documentation clearly links the current condition to the past skateboard accident.
• Verify that the accident occurred in a "nontraffic" area, such as a private driveway, parking lot, or field.
