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

This code describes a long-term complication or condition resulting from an injury sustained by a pedestrian who was on a skateboard and collided with a heavy transport vehicle or bus. The original incident occurred in a non-traffic setting, such as a parking lot, private property, or industrial area. The sequela could be a chronic pain condition, scar tissue, nerve damage, or other lasting effect of the initial trauma.

Use this code when documenting a patient presenting with a current health condition that is a direct consequence of a past injury involving a skateboarder colliding with a heavy transport vehicle or bus in a non-traffic accident. This code is appropriate for follow-up visits and ongoing management of these long-term effects, after the acute phase of the injury has passed.

• Always assign this code as a secondary diagnosis, following the code for the specific sequela (e.g., chronic pain, scar, malunion).
• Ensure documentation clearly indicates the original incident was a "nontraffic accident" and involved a "heavy transport vehicle or bus" and a "pedestrian on a skateboard."
• The "S" in the seventh character indicates sequela; do not use for initial encounters or subsequent encounters for the acute injury.
