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

This code describes a sequela (late effect) resulting from an injury sustained by a pedestrian who was involved in a collision with a heavy transport vehicle or bus. The pedestrian was also associated with another conveyance (e.g., pushing a bicycle, stroller, or wheelchair) at the time of the initial incident. The original accident's traffic or nontraffic context is unknown.

This code is appropriate for documenting chronic conditions, disabilities, or complications that arise as a direct consequence of such a collision, occurring long after the initial injury has healed. It should be used when the original injury event is no longer acute and the patient is presenting for treatment of a residual problem.

• Always sequence this sequela code after the code describing the specific late effect or chronic condition being treated.
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to the past collision involving a pedestrian, other conveyance, and heavy transport vehicle/bus.
• Verify that the "S" seventh character is appropriate, indicating a sequela, and not an initial encounter, subsequent encounter, or unspecified.
