Ped w convey injured in collision w hv veh nontraf, sequela

This code describes a delayed or residual health problem resulting from an incident where a pedestrian, who was also using some form of conveyance (e.g., skateboard, rollerblades), was struck by a large vehicle like a truck or bus. The collision occurred in a non-traffic area, such as a parking lot or private property. The "sequela" aspect indicates that the current encounter is for the long-term effects of this past injury.

Use this code when documenting a patient encounter for a chronic condition, disability, or complication directly attributable to a past collision involving a pedestrian with a conveyance and a heavy transport vehicle or bus in a non-traffic setting. This applies when the acute injury has resolved, but its lasting impact is being addressed.

• Always assign an additional code(s) for the specific sequela being treated (e.g., scar, chronic pain, neurological deficit).
• Ensure the documentation clearly states the collision occurred in a non-traffic area and involved a heavy transport vehicle or bus.
• Confirm the patient was a pedestrian utilizing another conveyance at the time of the original injury.
