Ped on foot injured in collision w hv veh nontraf, sequela

This code describes a long-term health condition or complication resulting from a pedestrian being struck by a large commercial vehicle or bus in a non-roadway setting. The initial injury occurred outside of normal traffic flow, and the patient is now presenting for care related to the lasting effects of that incident.

Apply this code when documenting follow-up care for a patient experiencing sequelae (e.g., chronic pain, functional limitations, psychological distress, scar tissue) directly attributable to being hit by a heavy transport vehicle or bus in a parking lot, private driveway, or other off-road location. This code is appropriate for encounters occurring long after the initial injury has healed, but the patient continues to suffer from its consequences.

• Always use in conjunction with a code describing the specific sequela (e.g., chronic pain, fracture nonunion, scar).
• Ensure documentation clearly states the pedestrian was struck by a heavy transport vehicle or bus and the incident was not traffic-related.
• Confirm the encounter is for a sequela and not for the initial injury or subsequent acute care.
