Ped w convey inj pick-up truck, pk-up/van nontraf, sequela

This code signifies a past injury sustained by a pedestrian who was struck by a car, pickup truck, or van in an area not open to public traffic (e.g., a parking lot, private driveway), where the pedestrian was also interacting with another conveyance (e.g., a bicycle, skateboard, scooter). The "S" at the end indicates that this code is for a sequela, meaning it describes a late effect or complication of the original injury, not the acute event itself.

This code is appropriate when documenting conditions or symptoms that are a direct result of an injury from a pedestrian-vehicle collision that occurred in a non-traffic setting, and where the pedestrian was also using or interacting with another conveyance. Examples include chronic pain, nerve damage, or limited range of motion stemming from such an incident, long after the initial injury has healed.

• Always ensure the documentation clearly links the current condition to the specified past accident.
• Verify the accident occurred in a "nontraffic" area and involved a car, pickup truck, or van, with the pedestrian also having another conveyance.
• Remember the "S" suffix mandates this code be used only for sequelae, not for the initial injury encounter.
