Ped w convey injured pick-up truck, pk-up/van, unsp, sequela

This code signifies a pedestrian who sustained injuries as a result of a collision with a car, pickup truck, or van, where the pedestrian was also using another conveyance (e.g., skateboard, rollerblades). The specific circumstances of the accident (traffic vs. nontraffic) are unknown, and this code is used for the long-term effects or complications of that initial injury.

Apply this code when documenting the sequelae of an injury sustained by a pedestrian, who was also utilizing another conveyance, in a collision with a car, pickup truck, or van. This is appropriate when the initial accident occurred in an unspecified traffic or nontraffic setting, and the patient is presenting for treatment of residual conditions directly related to that past event.

• Ensure the documentation clearly states the patient was a pedestrian with another conveyance involved in a collision with a car, pickup truck, or van.
• This code is specifically for sequelae; do not use it for the initial encounter for the injury.
• Confirm that the traffic/nontraffic nature of the accident is not specified in the medical record.
