Ped on foot injured pick-up truck, pk-up/van, unsp, sequela

This code describes the long-term effects or complications arising from a pedestrian being struck by a car, pickup truck, or van. The initial incident could have occurred in a traffic or non-traffic setting, but this specific code is used when that detail is unknown or not documented. It signifies that the patient is presenting for care related to residual issues from such an event.

This code is appropriate for encounters where a patient is being treated for sequelae (e.g., chronic pain, limited mobility, neurological deficits) directly attributable to a past pedestrian-vehicle collision. It should be used when the original accident's traffic/non-traffic context was not specified in the initial documentation or is unavailable for the current encounter.

• Always sequence this sequela code after the code(s) for the specific condition(s) being treated (e.g., chronic fracture nonunion, post-traumatic arthritis).
• Ensure the "S" (sequela) seventh character is appended for all encounters where the patient is receiving care for the residual effects of the injury.
• Avoid using this code for initial or subsequent active treatment of the acute injury; those require different seventh characters.
