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

This code describes injuries sustained by a pedestrian who was on roller-skates and involved in a traffic accident with a car, pickup truck, or van, where the effects of the injury are now considered a sequela. A sequela indicates a late effect or complication of an acute injury that occurred in the past.

This code is used when documenting a patient presenting with long-term complications or residual conditions directly resulting from a past collision between a roller-skating pedestrian and a motor vehicle (car, pickup, or van). This would apply to follow-up visits for chronic pain, limited mobility, or other persistent issues stemming from the original incident.

• Always use this code as a secondary diagnosis, following the code for the specific sequela (e.g., chronic pain, scar, nonunion).
• Ensure documentation clearly states the patient was a pedestrian on roller-skates and the collision involved a car, pickup, or van.
• The "S" at the end indicates sequela; do not use for the initial encounter or subsequent active treatment.
