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

This code signifies the long-term effects or complications arising from an injury sustained by a pedestrian on a skateboard who was involved in a collision with a car, pickup truck, or van. It indicates that the initial injury has healed, but the patient is now presenting with residual conditions directly attributable to that past accident. The specific nature of the traffic environment (traffic vs. nontraffic) is not documented.

Use this code when a patient presents for treatment of a sequela, such as chronic pain, scar contracture, nerve damage, or limited range of motion, that is a direct result of a past collision where they were a skateboarder struck by a motor vehicle. This code is appropriate for follow-up encounters after the initial injury has been treated and the acute phase has passed.

• Always sequence this sequela code first, followed by the code(s) for the specific residual condition(s).
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to the past skateboard-motor vehicle collision.
• Do not use this code for the initial encounter or for subsequent encounters during the active treatment of the acute injury.
